IMHO, this is ridiculously cheap and frankly offensive. I think in his position I would have tipped AT LEAST $20. I mean, seriously, why even bother tipping if you are just gonna tip $1?

When I tip the Richard Pryor lookalike cab despatcher at the Rio $1 for opening a door and repeating my destination to the driver I do so for all the usual reasons. If I'd just won $1 million I'd still tip him a dollar. What difference does it make? I suspect OP must be a dealer as dealers seem to have an irrational delusion that any time anyone wins some money they deserve a share. Why? They didn't take the risk of investing their own cash so why should they share the reward?

If they've already taken 3% rake plus 3% for tips then that's more than enough.

The idea of tipping is pretty dumb.

Tipping should be reserved for when service workers go above-and-beyond their required job duty. Like if your A/C repairman fixes your A/C unit and notices you've got a flat tire as he's leaving, and assists you in replacing the tire.

Americans have become so lazy with this "people owe me" mentality. Doing your job right should be the norm. Doing a bad job should result in a discussion with your supervisor. Doing a bad job should not be the norm, with doing the job right resulting in some sort of bonus.

I mean, wtf?
