Default Re: Complaining about the rake and getting told on by dealers......

Q: Why are you playing there?

A: To show them what you're like.

I guess showing them what a know-it-all loudmouth you are hampered your prospects.

Hey, I used to be a young, know-it-all loudmouth myself. It cost me more than one job. Even cost me a promotion once. I grew out of it, eventually. You probably will, too.

EDIT TO ADD: This is just a wild guess, but I get the impression that you probably could not resist the urge to help the dealers run the game while you were there. Outside of outright stiffing, that generates the most complaints in the break room--and it fits in perfectly with the know-it-all attitude embodied in your post.

Under the circumstances and adding facts according to psandman, i don't think there was really whole lot else you COULD do wrong if you wanted a job there.

I guess it would be worse off if you <u>physically</u> threatened the paying customers to not play in the room, instead of <u>verbally</u> convincing them.

Typically the casinos in vegas are looking for dealers to keep their players there and happy, not inform them about how much they're losing.

You would be worse off if they did hire you, because that would show poor lack of judgment by the management, not to mention poor business sense. Not only that, but with six complaints I doubt you're a favorite with your potential coworkers.

If you honestly don't feel like you did anything wrong, you wouldn't be making this post.

For what reason did you ever think that any of your conduct at any point was a good idea and being helpful in fulfilling your future goals?

I did see where he said [ QUOTE ]
I would comment on the effect of rake + jackpot + toke in a $2/4.

[/ QUOTE ]
I just (mis)took what you said [ QUOTE ]
well aside from complaining about the rake, you kept suggesting to people not to tip the dealers.

[/ QUOTE ]as first hand experience the way i read it.

Didn't mean to mis-represent what you said.

To the OP:
Just curious, have you dealt before?

No he said he was pointing out to the players how much came off the table in rake AND TOKES.
