I'm trying to figure out why the first thread was locked, and why everyone here is a whiny bitch. Little help?

So the OP doesn't like tipping. Neither do I. Any place with a billion percent profit margin shouldn't have to rely on tips to pay their dealers . . . the only reason they pay their dealers minimum wage, if they do, is that they know that the players will, through tips, still make the dealer's true wage $20+/hour or more.

These aren't like overworked middle-aged women working double shifts at Denny's, scrambling to survive on $2.50 an hour plus a buck-a-meal tips after their husbands went and left them for the trailer trash down the street.

I'm not as extreme as the OP -- I tip a buck after big pots, a buck every-other-regular-sized-postflop-pot. And I'd certainly tip in the casino restaurant. But these dealers aren't starving to death if they don't get a buck for every hand they deal, for crissake.

(On the other hand, the OP's handle is . . . well, stupid.)
