tipping cashiers in AC poker rooms
I know...another tipping thread. But this is a very specific question. I usually tip a buck or two to the cashier when I cash out, but I get a different yet consistent reaction depending on the casino. At the Borg, they set the dollar on the side, make no expression whatsoever, and don't say "thank you" or anything else. While at the Taj, Caesars, and I think others, they seem very appreciative. I've even seen some of them fish for a tip a little bit by asking how the evening was, if you won, etc. Is there a policy at the Borg that they don't personally keep the tips, but they don't refuse them either as not to offend? Maybe they go into a pool or something and are told not to thank people so that it's not encouraged. Anyone else notice this difference at the different AC casinos?

Re: tipping cashiers in AC poker rooms
I never tip cashiers, and I find it a turn off at Caesars when they fish for it. In fact it took me a while to realize that they're actually fishing for a tip, because it never occurred to me that cashing out the chips is something that's a tip-worthy activity. It's doubly annoying when they fish for a tip when you're down for the session and a little steamed up.

Only occasionally at the Taj. The Borg I've never got even the slightest sign of gratitude and at Ceasars they spend so much time fishing for it I couldn't bear to do it. |

Re: tipping cashiers in AC poker rooms
I've never even HEARD of anybody tipping the cashiers at the Borg, and I've been going there regularly for almost 3 years now. People tip the chip runners regularly, but the cashiers? Never seen it.

There are chip runners at the Borgata? I have been there about 10 times and never seen any.

I've never seen a tip jar, etc. or even seen another player give a tip. Maybe I'm just blind. |

It's actually pretty common to toss them a whitebird from what I've seen.

Re: tipping cashiers in AC poker rooms
When I tip the cashier a dollar I usually hear a thank you.
