I have a friend that is more than a handful at the craps table. Works the dealers to death. Late bets, lots of bets, etc. He rarely tips, and when he does its like a $1 prop bet for the dealers. I've explained to him many times how horrible that is, and the dealers don't like him very much. But get this, everytime he cashes out at the cashier window, he tips the girl $2! I'm like, wait a minute, you'll tip her $2 for something that takes like 20 seconds, but won't toke the dealers that you work to death? In his own sick way of thinking its like he tips the cashier cuz she's giving him his money, while the dealers spend all night trying to get it!
I have no problem tipping when i receive good service, and in that order. I can't stand the fact that tips are expected, and your service is based on your tip. Tips should be earned. Good service shouldn't be earned, IT should be EXPECTED.
