Re: Only time to tip a tourney dealer.....
 

These two are jerkoffs and are only here to post useless crap about dealers and tipping. There was no point to this thread other than to start another flame war. Al was perfectly in the right to respond that way IMO.

GoT, you should butt the hell out from what I see. When these creeps are slamming your livelyhood, and claming that you are a scumbag and beggar for simply doing your job, then you can chime in. MMMkay?

Chip, very well said my friend. I imagine these two are under 21 and have never even been in a casino. I could be wrong, but I am usually not. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I see exactly zero of any of that in the post that Al Capone Jr responded to. Also, what does any of that have to do with the post I made, or the post I was responding to?

This is a continuation of flaming dealers from other threads by these two. Meaning, the OP, and adhoc.

The point of his thread is simply, dealers shouldn't be tipped, and was started to kick up more [censored].

Okay. I was simply pointing out that Al's post was basically a huge personal attack and the obvious start of a flame war, which IMO is dumb.

BTW, I've skimmed thru the other thread you mentioned, but didn't really see any compelling arguments for why dealers DESERVE to be tipped. That's not saying I don't, because I do, but what are some valid logical arguments for them deserving tips, or what do they do exactly that should automatically make them deserve a one? Usually I just see/hear dealers make some comment to the effect of "Are you serious??" in a condescending mocking tone if this is asked, but I'm genuinely want to hear some arguments.

Personally, I feel that most dealers are bottom feeders and trash. If you tip these people, they'll just spend it on drugs anyway. The money would be better spent calling the INS to ask about their visas.

I'm a dealer and have been for 11 years. I've been married for 6 years and have 3 children. I also have over $4000 a month in bills. I don't do drugs and I've had a 6 pack in the fridge for over 6 months. The vast majority of dealers I work with are the the same as me. Family oriented with the occational drink. There are a few that have drug problems, the same as any other job. Next time think about what your saying before you make comments like that. My job is hard enough as is without people like you trying to make it harder by turning others against dealers. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to drop off my daughter at school and go to work.

im pretty sure the guy was joking around in his reply.

That's interesting...because I tip my drug-dealers but have been afraid that they just blow the money on poker.

Re: Only time to tip a tourney dealer.....
 

This is what I don't understand...tipping dealers has been going on in this city for decades upon decades, and all of a sudden the same few 2+2ers want an explanation as to why it should be done? Why do I get the feeling those always questioning dealers getting tokes are jealous? I'm sure this isn't the case... Let me keep my explanation short: dealers who take pride in what they are doing, whether its through excellent game control, great customer service, or whatever, deserve to be toked for the service they are providing. I have never endorsed toking bad dealers w/ bad attitudes. However, I get the sense that a certain few who constantly post on here could give a rats ass how hard the dealer is trying: they're not going to tip them period. Please, for the love of God, if you don't like to tip dealers, stay home...play on the computer. It's a great alternative and you will never have to worry about tipping a dealer, guarenteed...

I am not suggesting that all dealers have drug problems, only that most of them do. My guess is that somewhere from 80-90% are serious drug addicts, or at least long-term recreational drug users, mostly, I think, of crack. If you are not addicted to drugs, that is very laudable, and I am not referring to you. All I am doing is pointing out the facts.
