I agree dealers should not touch the stacks until asked. but at that point, if the dealer is going to announce $500, then he needs to count it and make sure that's how much it really is. - al

Agree. In my above post I meant if asked "how big the bet".
My understanding is the dealer *should* never announce or count the size of the bet unless asked by a potential caller/raiser. This is so he doesn't induce or reduce action. Of course if he is asked, he needs to count any stack of "non-eyeball" size (let's say more than five chips) so he doesn't make an error.
Regarding *should*, I'm not sure this is standard most places and it certainly isn't consistently done even where it is policy.
