Yet another tipping situation
 

A friend of mine is playing in the 4/8 game at Canterbury Park. He tips an orange chip (50 cents) per pot. He tosses the dealer a chip. The dealer tosses it back and says "I don't take those". MY friend replies, "well that's kind of insulting." Dealer says, "I didn't mean for it to be insulting, I just don't take those."

Thoughts?

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

I would've told the dealer to go kiss my ass and wouldn't give him any other tip from that point on.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

Just take the chip back and put it back in your stack.

At least you tried which is more than seemingly a lot of people on here do.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

Wow.

I'd have made a note to talk to someone at the desk afterward, but probably would have forgotten about it by the time I got up. He wouldn't be getting anything from me ever again.

Hijack: What do they use orange chips for at CP?

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

I would have put the chip back in the stack and not tipped him for a long long time.

i would take the chip back, say nothing. and then when i would got home i would go online to make sure that the official US currency is still dollars and realize that 50 cents is still money and then i would wonder why he hated money...

That dealer would have received two tips from me, His first and his last.

Agreed. I tip whenever I win a pot (as long as we see a flop) and regardless of the tip amount, I have never seen a dealer that was so high-n-mighty to refuse it. Who the hell does he think he is? Wow.

Never would tip him/her again. Unbelieveable.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

I don't get it.

It seems your friend tokes orange chips and this dealer just informed him that he'd rather not be tipped if the chip is orange. So don't toke him. Problem solved.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

Your friend sucks donkey nuts and I'm glad that the dealer had the dignity to refuse his pathetic attempt at a tip.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

How much would you tip in a 4-8 game?

My normal toke is $1. If the dealer is exceptionally good I toke $2. But I play much higher limits. I also play professionally, which means toking and rake costs me close to $30,000.00 per year. I don't think people (especially dealers), realize that.

.50 cents seems reasonable to me for a 4-8 game.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

this is an ingenious play on the part of your friend. he tipped in such a way as to cause the dealer to make a mistake according to TOP. nh.

I regularly chastise stiffs, but I have to disagree here. The tip is subpar, but it is a tip. Tap the table, maybe spare the thanks and smiles, and move on. Start dismissing tips and maybe the real Georges at the table will clam up.

Tip $1 every other pot. What's the problem?

Or better yet, stack the oranges, and as soon as the next dealer comes in for his down, toss them over and say "Dealer X didn't want 'em."

The more I think about it, the less gracious I find this dealer.

i would. i would keep tossing him the 50 cent chip, and let him toss it back to me.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

Dude, it's not Monday. Tipping..errr.FLAME threads are only allowed to start on Mondays. WTF do you think everyone would do? I'm a dealer and I'd say something to the floor about it, plain and simple. Half these guys on here will says "well I'd just tell him to F himself" or something else stupid like that and get themselves tossed out. Handle it professionaly even if the dealer was a dick.

And please. no more tipping threads guys. This is just getting too old.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

This is a close one, but I would have to say that I would probably not tip this dealer.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

I think your friend is cheap, but this is not a cardinal sin.

The dealer acted inappropriately. In effect, he complained that the tip was "not good enough." Dealers are not supposed to do this.

Who was the dealer?

i don't think so. maybe my buddy is cheap in this regard, but IMO the dealer was infinitely worse than my friend was in this instance. I tip a buck when I play 30/60. am i supposed to tip 1/8th of a bet, like $1 is in a 4/8 game?

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

I was joking. I tip $1/pot always, but who the [censored] cares?

i guess i was just utterly shocked by how the dealer reacted. in my experience, most dealers at Canterbury are pretty cool. to hear of one of them being so overtly cockish just amazed me. i guess it just adds further justification to my theory that most people should be killed.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

hehe

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

That's called overhead. Some people pay rent and employees. Cost of doing business. No dealers no poker rooms, you'd be out of a job. At least these employees you don't have to provide the health insurance.

Re: Yet another tipping situation
 

This is so silly. Why report it? Why argue with the guy? He doesn't want his tips, you just nod, say "ok" and don't bother any more. Maybe say something like "let me know when you start taking them." and let it go.

When I was at theMirage, playing 3/6, the daytime players ALWAYS tipped $0.50. I did the same. At CP, the standard tip is a buck at every game, unless the pot is large ($2), the player is drunk ($0-5) or the player is an off-duty dealer ($2-3).

I recognize the dealer who did this by his description. He is a surly fellow, and slthough a very technically competent dealer, he makes the game less enjoyable. Like being a waiter, helping the customer have a pleasant experience is part of the job. Next time he deals, I think I'll toss him an orange after every pot.
