should i take this from a dealer??

[DeMaci]

Request to talk to the Dealer Coordinator or a Supervisor. Floormen can get you in contact with these people, but floormen can't actually do anything. When explaining the situation make sure to mention you were just as frustrated about the game slowing down as you were her being rude.

DEALER: (explains what just happened)

DEALER: (explains more slowly and patiently)

PLAYER: I'M NOT STUPID! I know perfectly well what just happened!

DEALER: (thinks, "WTF is this guy's problem? He says 'What just happened?', and when I try to answer his question, he yells at me. Now he says he knows perfectly well what he just asked me to explain. Did he do all this just to pick a fight with me? Me, the employee, the one person at the table who's not allowed to tell him to STFU? What a monumental jerk.")

no. it's more like:

DEALER: explains more slowly and patiently

PLAYER: thanks, i understand

DEALER: continues to explain slowly and patiently

PLAYER: thanks, i get it

DEALER: continues to explain slowly and patiently

does this change your opinion? how long do I let the dealer make me look stupid before I say something?

How about at least until she's done explaining.

When a player string bets an don't allow it, I explain the rule to them, some of them like to try to interrupt me and tell me "yeah yeah I know" but I finish the explanation anyway for two reasons, they might not know and just don't like being told how to bet, therefore to avoid future issues with the rule I continue, second I'm not just explaining it to them ... I'm explaining it to anyone else at the table who didn't understand what just happened.

Then she looks to the old fart to my right and says, "Sirus, can you please explain to this young gentleman that I am not being sarcastic right now and how sarcastic I can actually be?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Up to this point, she's been kosher and you've been a bit of an ahole, but this remark and what follows is inappropriate and uncalled for imho.

She definitely went out of line, but there was no reason to make such a big fuss about her re-explaining the chips stacking, even if she sounded a bit patronizing.

[roaaahhh]

you sound like an utter and total whiney douche

[El_Hombre_Grande]

This isn't a big deal. Next time don't make it one. At the absolute worst, she was poking fun at you, or was marginally incompetent. So what?
You should have just smiled. If you feel the need to "retaliate," it is acceptable for you to later maybe even poke a little fun at her.

By the way, did anyone at the table giggle when you said "being mean to me?" I know I did, and I haven't had a decent giggle since 4th grade.

So what should I do? Talk to the floor? Should I have even said anything? Of all of the people in the world, shouldn't casino dealers be the one person who is always nice to you?

You should have stfu rather than being sarcastic to her in the 1st place. Procedurely from the start she was trying to do it correctly and you tried to insult her and make her look like an idiot.

Justa bit different than what was presented in the OP.

Especially the first exchange.

I explain to her that I'm not stupid

This is the first thing you said to the dealer aside from, "er, huh?" I'm curious how this explanation went down, and if there was any way to say it at all without coming across as snippy and defensive.

Your biggest mistake seems to be in thinking that this is some private party between you and the dealer. She wants to get on to other hands. Everybody else wants to get on to other hands. Nowhere did I see you taking the time to explain that you were confused because of her comment about saying you could bring the chip back, and that's probably for the best as no good could have come of it, but that alone is a big blinky sign that this is way too much for so little. She made a slight error, probably didn't even realize it, and based on her not recognizing the slight error, her side of things seems perfectly reasonable.

Learn to let the little stuff go. Half the time it was a misunderstanding on your own end. Almost all of the time you come out the worst of it trying to do anything about it. Move on to bigger and better. Stop being so insecure.

just dont tip dealers. most arent appreciative and dont deserve it.
