First visit to a B&M next week

[thomastem]

I'm going to the mirage next week and have only played online or in home games. It also was requested that I not mention that I'm no singling anyone out in the title of my post. Please note I've complied. (I won't single anyone out either).

I have questions on tipping. Is there a min pot size to give a tip? How much should the tip be? I have critter figurines that bring luck how many can I bring to the table? Anything I need to watch out for? Do the B&Ms read this forum and do I need to make sure I don't single anyone out there?

Mr. Pink: I don't tip.

Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?

Mr. Pink: I don't believe in tipping.

Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?

Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make [censored].

Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money, she can quit.

Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a [censored] Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me just get this straight. You don't ever tip, huh?

Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. Alright, I mean I'll tip if somebody really deserves a tip. If they really put forth the effort, I'll give them a little something extra. But I mean this tipping automatically--it's for the birds. I mean, as far as I'm concerned they're just doing their job.

Mr. Blue: This girl was nice.

Mr. Pink: She was OK. She was nothing special.

Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and suck your dick?

Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over 12 percent for that.

Mr. Pink: I ordered coffee, right. Now we've been here a long [censored] time and she only filled my cup 3 times. When I order coffee I want it filled 6 times.

Mr. Blonde: 6 times. Well what if she's too [censored] busy?

Mr. Pink: The words too [censored] busy shouldn't be in a waitress' vocabulary.

Nice Guy Eddie: Excuse me, Mr. Pink, but the last [censored] thing you need is another cup of coffee.

Mr. Pink: Jesus Christ! I mean, these ladies aren't starving to death. They make minimum wage. I used to work for minimum wage and when I did I wasn't lucky enough to have a job that society deemed tip-worthy.

Mr. Blue: You don't care that they're counting on your tips to live?

Mr. Pink: You know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin playing just for the waitresses.

Mr. White: You don't have any idea what you're talking about. These people bust their asses. This is a hard job.

Mr. Pink: So is working at McDonald's but you don't feel the need to tip them, do you? Why not? They're serving you food. But no, society says don't tip those guys over there but tip these guys over here. That's bullshit.

Mr. White: Waitressing is the number 1 occupation for female non-college graduates in this country. Its the one job basically any woman can get and make a living on. The reason is the tips.

Mr. Pink: [censored] all that. I mean, I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips. That's [censored] up but that ain't my fault. I mean, it would appear that waitresses are one of the many groups that the government [censored] in the ass on a regular basis. I mean, if you show me a piece of paper that says the government shouldn't do that I'll sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshit you're giving me, I've got two words for that: learn to [censored] type. 'Cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big [censored] surprise.

Mr. Orange: He's convinced me. Give me my dollar back.

Nice Guy Eddie: Leave the dollars there.


[Joe returns from paying the bill.]
Joe: Alright Ramblers, let's get rambling. Wait a minute. Who didn't throw in?

Mr. Orange: Mr. Pink

Joe: Mr. Pink. Why not?

Mr. Orange: He don't tip.

Joe: [to Pink] You don't tip. What do you mean you don't tip?

Mr. Orange: He don't believe in it.

Joe: [to Orange] Shut up. [to Pink] What do you mean you don't believe in it? Come on you. Cough up a buck you cheap bastard. I paid for your goddamned breakfast.

Mr. Pink: Alright, since you paid for breakfast, I'll put in, but normally I would never do this.

Joe: Never mind what you normally would do. Just cough in your goddamned buck like everyone else.


So...yeah, tip a buck.

[thomastem]

Ok but if I'm not undercover and I don't get gut shot I'm at a loss as waht to do.

No animail allowed, TT, sorry.

Peace,

A dealer deals 30 to 40 hands per hour. At low stakes tables, more like 30. They usually get paid minimum wage. So if they make $.50 every hand, they are making $20 an hour. If they are competent, I think they should make at least that much.

When I am in LV, I tip .$50 on every pot, and a dollar if it is a nice sized pot. If it is the kind you need a circus dog to jump over, maybe you can make it $2.

At the local cardclub, where everyone knows me, I usually tip a dollar if there is a flop. But my wife is a Blackjack dealer down the street from there, so I have to be at least moderately generous.

You could probably have as many as a half dozen small critters and inch or two high, but larger than that, and I think you might face restrictions.

Have fun in Vegas.

Good luck,
play well,

Bob T.

Thank you Bob....I wonder if Vegas is ready for me?

Vegas might be the only place that is ready for you /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

If Las Vegas has any kind of zoo (the Mirage is a definate must-visit for you!!), your head will probably explode!

Take lots of notes- especially which animal is best at raising, which is a check-raising fool, and so on.

My trade show and room are at the mirage! My critters are being Fed-Exed ahead. My sheep are bringing their resumes for Bob's House of American Pie and Latex. Anything special about the Mirage and will they care if I bring my pitch fork in?
