OP is a dumbass having to ask other people on an internet message board if he should make notice to the floor of dealer stealing from him. Grow some balls wussy.

I'd ask the dealer what just happened and if the answer isn't good enough for you go ahead and call the floor.

Unless I was certain of what I saw, I'd probably ask the dealer what was afoot. If you're positive he took $8 outta the pot and put it in his tip jar, no need to talk to him--just tell the floor who will call surveillance to check it. Or if I'm sure I can recreate the betting and figure out for myself how much should be in the pot, I may just stack and count the pot separately and if it comes out $8 short, then just go straight to the floor.

But it COULD be something like RR describes. It's somewhat common for dealers to pull 10 $1 chips out of a pot and change 'em up to $5's before pushing it if there are gobs of $1's in the pot--though usually when I see it they are VERY careful and clear about what they're doing exactly because it can appear like something untoward is happening. So if I wasn't watching the pot the whole time, I'd likely ask something like "what was that with the whites coming outta the pot" and see what the answer was.
