By the way, did anyone else note that most of the money in the prize pool is after-taxes to begin with? I hate taxes =[

12k for a weeks worth of work dealing cards... and they're bitching?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure you have never bitched about how much you made at a particular job. Gimme a break.

I've never had a particular job that paid me 12k a week. If I had that job, I WOULD NOT be bitching.

Do any of the non-televised tournaments have their entry fees raked for tips? Some people in the B&M forum are were wondering about that, and they always looking for expert advice about tipping like in the thread Tipping At $1000+60 Bellagio Tournament

They already raked 2% of the prize pool for tourney workers, thats over $1,100,000.

I don't know how many staff members were involved but I'd guess they all got a pretty good chuck.

Raymer has been on here before commenting on the vig of live multitable tourneys being way to high, [censored] giving the rest of place more money, I'd tip the dealer but certainly not the whole staff.

Possibly also worth noting casino employees (I only know blackjack dealers) earn roughly the same as qualified nurses-less dependence on tips

I can understand tipping someone that carries heavy luggage in hotels, those guys deserve it. I can understand tipping restaurant staff that get my food on the table. But I can't understand tipping someone that sits down on a chair, passes around cards and poker chips.

My first job ever was as a bagger at a grocery store. I had to stand there bagging groceries for many hours my back was killing me many times. Lots of times I had to do carry outs so not only bag the groceries but go to the parking lot, put the groceries in people's cars and close the back door. 99.9% of the time I got no tip. Many times I didn't even get a thank you after even having to close the back door of their car!

It is unbelievable to me how a guy bagging people's groceries and even taking them to a person's car don't get tips, but for a dealer it is supposed to be mandatory and if you don't do it they give you dirty looks. How dare they even give you dirty looks? It is insane.

At least he didn't ask for a receipt.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly (except for the grocer part, that's assanine that they wouldn't even say ty for something like that.
