Please explain why, at these limits, a simple yet blatant
witholding of dealer tips wouldn't result in the desired changes within
the
first hour of taking your seat at such a disorderly table.

Because the offending player is probably tipping much more than some nit
who
thinks his tip is going to matter.


This is key. The dealers don't want to antagonize the players upon whose
goodwill their living depends. I am the admitted nit who is bothered by
what I posted in my OP. I tip MUCH less than the other players. I've
also spoken to many dealers (who know perfectly well what they should be
doing) who tell me that it's just plain hard to keep everybody in line.
There are so many infractions that they'd be at it constantly. Between
that and not wanting to lose income this is where 'we' are at. Hence my
fantasy regarding a pamphlet being written up and handed out to the
players by the management.

However: This thread is starting to make me think that I'm being too
nitty and should just not be bothered by any of what's in my OP. I can't
do anything about it anyway and it could be that my attempts have been
singling me out in a negative light and are adversely impacting my action.


HB

I think you do over-react to some things, or that's the impression I
get. On the other hand, actions which give other players an advantage
are cheating. I just don't think we should put up with cheating. My own
reaction to tough guys starts out the same as yours.

I say "I use the Jewish method of self-defense.' and if they ask what
it is I say,

"If you *** with me, I will burn your town down around your ears and
kill everyone you ever met."

It's an exaggeration.Maybe.

The dog. Don't forget the dog. After killing the family you kill the dog
slowly.

I don't kill dogs uneccesarily. Dogs are good. It is people I don't
like. Of course, any dog worth his food would make me kill him if I
were killing his fambly.


Maybe that's not so much Jewish as it is Southern.

I am both. Note the spelling of fambly.

However, the roots are in the Celtic fringes of the British Isles,
where they taught the Vikings the game of "burn down the house and kill
anyone who tries to come out."
