Right, they are paid minimum wage (a whopping 6 bucks an hour), and effectively make tips ONLY for their job. This is of course 'more than they should' be making.
Right, when I visit Vegas and play the NL tables, the dealers never take tips in. What?
I have no idea where you are basing your statement on.
I often tip 3 or more bucks for a nice pot, even at $4/8 or $6/12.
In a no limit game where you drag a $400 pot, you think you can shell out a red chip for the guy that just pushed it to you?
Remind me, if I ever retire and take a job dealing poker, I'll take my break when you sit down at my table!
