As told, yes, you have to approach the floor manager as soon as possible.

There could have been another reason for it, just horrible procedure by the dealer, so no need to jump to conclusions at the table. I was accused of stealing at my first job by some moron who couldn't tell my toke box from the BBV drop. They had to and call the cameras and everything.

Anyway if it turns out he was stealing, he'll be gone & good riddance to him. It can do tons of damage to the reputation of the room and other dealers there, he'll all dealers really. We're discussing it here now even.

If $5-10 isn't worth the dealer losing their job then they shouldn't be risking their job by stealing it.

This is probably the most automatic "call the floor" situation I've ever seen and it's not even close.

That bastard is STEALING from you, and to make matters worse he's making you look like a complete SUCKER by doing it right in front of your face. He's telling you you're a mark, a sucker tourist, and you have no idea how the game is run. He's a thief and I'd pull the floor over, the gaming comission over, whoever the hell I needed to. He needs to be not only fired immediately, but arrested. I'd press charges. We already pay ridiculous sums to the rake, and to have this degenerate clown stealing from the pot is just insane.

What game was this? This looks suspicious, but it is also possible someone brought some white to a game that white doesn't normally play in. He should not be doing this, but it is possible that he held his last tip off to the side to buy white with when they went into the pot (maybe the rack was full). The reason I tell dealers to never do this sort of thing is it appears they are stealing if someone only sees part of the transaction.

It was a 5/5 game, and several players often limp with 5 whites so there are often 10 or more in the pot.

This was one of the shadier dealers, and I don't see the reasoning behind not tipping the red itself as dealers are often thrown reds/greens and they immediately throw it in their box.

Also, if this were the case why wouldn't he immediately make change and throw the whites in his tip box? He waited until someone won the pot, and it was pushed and then quickly put them into his box w/o tapping. He made it almost look as if the whites were the rake as far as placement, and timing.
