I would have said,"Why are you talking to me like you know me?"

Then never tip him again. Unless you have a relationship with the guy, a sarcastic comment like that=NO TIPS EVA, and its not even close. No need to tell the floor.

At the Mirage, you will be asked to leave the poker room if you announce to the table that you don't intend to tip.

Tipping is a personal decision, once you share your no tipping policy with the table you might be breaking the rules. As I said earlier, go see the floor.

This is ridiculous... I can't believe it... I mean I can... but it's ridiculous.

Luckily I've had good luck with dealers at the Mirage.

It isn't ridiculous. If someone doesn't want to tip that is their business; when they tell or encourage others not to tip they need to go.

I don't know that I necessarily agree with this, although I wouldn't risk being kicked out of a room for it. If I get scammed by Sony or something, I'm telling all my friends not to buy from Sony, their product sucks, their service sucks, whatever. If I get poor service from a dealer, why can't I tell people about it? They don't have to listen to me. But I think this is a good example of customer preferences dictating behavior.

The difference is Sony doesn't care because my voice is small, and in a cardroom my voice is loud, but if I'm not disrupting or ruining the game I think its a reasonable last-resort to tell people about my experience and encourage them to stiff a terrible dealer.
