Default What a lame dealer!!!

Ok, i am playing in my local casino, 30-60 Texas Holdem!
The casino is very nice, the dealers are quite good.
But now the bad side: They make you tip! and dont mean like in evry other casino..its that way: you win a decent pot, and they tell you how much the pot was, so you can tip the right amount!

Now i would like to hear your opinions about the situation that had happend last time!
"I win a 880$ pot, and tip 10$, and the floor manager tells me: You are a miser, tip a little more.....
But he didnt say it in a funny way!
How would you react to something like that?

I would say "eh, whatever"...lets say that you get in 30 hands an hour, and 3 of them are of the size to warrant a 10 dollar tip...that's 30$ an hour, aside from the dollar tips he'll probably make on the rest of the hands. this is not a trivial amount of bling bling.

I'd tip somewhere between $0 and $1 for every pot from there on out, regardless of size. If there was somewhere else to play, I'd play there as long as it didn't suck. The only reason I'd stay at this place was if it was either the only game in town or it was significantly better than anywhere else. I'd then envoke my $1-max tip policy.

I would act confused. "Huh? What? Wait a minute, let me see here..."
Then with a waving motion of the hand, and grabbing a few more chips with the other hand,
ask the dealer, "Hey, what did I give you there, let me see..."
Hopefully, the dealer will offer up the chips you tipped in a manner that you can reach them.
Quickly grab them and add them back into your stack. "There!", you can announce in a loud
voice, "Now you really have something to bitch about!".

For the rest of the night, LAUGH really LOUD for a really LONG TIME every time you win a pot
(without tipping, of course).

$10 tip? wtf? Are they serving you dinner with your game too?

Tip $1 a pot... $2 if it's abnormally huge... if everybody does that and the dealer deals average then he's making $20-$30/hr in tips. If he doesn't like it he can deal faster.

$10 tip... that's nuts.

I would have to guess that the casino is taking some of the dealer tips. In fact I would ask where my money was going to and how it got split up.

Or just a 'What's your cut?'
