Re: Dan Harrington. Justified stiff?
Several posters in this thread seem to be making an assumption that is not necessarily true. They are assuming that the 3% juice actually goes completely to the staff. As is usual for the casino industry (and I am sure many others) much of this money is diverted further up the food chain to people who come to work in suits and ties and never set foot in the tournament area.
FWIW, the Legends tournament staff do get paid fairly well during the tournament, but nowhere near the ridiculous estimates you guys are "calculating."
Anyways, this thread really wasnt supposed to be about how tournament personnel are underpaid, but more about Dan Harrington's extreme frugality, and the absurdity of his $1 tip to the security guards, even in the face of a great financial windfall.
