[Tommy Angelo]

"I whispered to the dealer, "You just cost yourself a lot of tokes pal."

If I am unhappy with my airline, I still tip the skycap. If I am unhappy with my food, I still tip the waitress.

I don't see the dealer's comment as being any different than his shuffle. He was doing what he perceived to be his job. Without knowing the management's dealer training/education/procedure policy, it is impossible to judge the dealer's action as correct or not, and therefore, like the skycap who slows me down with a tedious form to fill out, I don't see why his tip should be affected.
