Ridiculous Rule - how do you respond to a casino like this?

[smak]

If it was some sort of 1/2 muck, or the guy mucked but then realized he should have chopped, i probably wouldn't want to give him 1/2.

If both of us throw our cards face up on the table, and the dealer pushed me the pot, there's no way I wouldn't chop it.

I'd want somebody to do the same if it was the opposite.
