Default Dont tip online, why tip in person?

Internet poker we dont have to tip right?
Read this:
First off let me say I tip 20% everywhere outside of a casino. Resturants, bars, ect... Anyway, I decided in late 2002 that I would never tip again inside of a casino, yes that includes the casino resturants (out of spite). Why should I tip a BJ dealer when all they do is try to take my money, why the crap would I tip a poker dealer, did they help me win the pot? I dont think so. My luck or what little skill I have helped me when that pot. The point of this post is, if everyone quit tipping inside casinos, maybe this would teach them a lesson. We shouldnt have to tip you guys, you make an hourly wage a lot more than those poor waiters and waitresses or those hard workers at Mcdonalds. Have a great day and remember, "I DONT TIP"

Typical losers statement.

If people in certain professions didn't earn tips then we wouldn't have them to serve us.

Why do you think most cardrooms take out a certain % off the top for the dealers in their tournaments nowadays?

It's because of people like you.

You have a choice to tip or not. However if you would do what you are doing here in a B & M card room you would be asked to leave for sure.

Dealers make minimunm wage to start and some may make a bit more provided by the individual casinos they work for. Some casinos will pay extra $0.25 or $0.50 for each major game they deal.

What online site do you play and what's your handle?

That way we can all share in the wealth of your losing.

Their salary factors in the tips they get. So if you dont tip them, you are in turn giving them a pay cut. Do they deserve a cut in pay? Maybe if they're doing a shitty job. But otherwise you're just being a dick.

OK, so he doesn't tip at B&M's, he's an A-hole, we get it. But some of the reactions to non-tippers on this website are downright mind-boggling.

A kid to my left didn't tip the dealer after winning like 3 or 4 pots in a row. The next hand the dealer "accidentally" threw his cards off the table and had to declare his hand dead.

At turning stone the dealers make minimum wage and a large portion of their salary comes from tips. I'm not a huge tipper, but you gotta give 'em something.
