And tbf most of them prefer dealing poker as they get a bit more banter with the players than they do with the folk playing house games plus they get to have a seat and dont need to stan all the time.  The pay shouldn't come into things because its a job they chose to do.  Nobody forces them to do it.

There are a few decent dealers, but there are also some poor dealers and a few of them have an attitude problem.

I'd say Ramona by far is the best dealer in the place.

Chips were assigned in groups of 4, top 4 get the same amount, next 4 get same amount etc and then the tables were set up so that each table had 1 player from each of the 10 groups and therefore had the same amount of chips at each table.

The player in question is in the merchant navy and at sea and it was known he wouldnt be there, at the time i felt the decision was correct.  The chips have to stay on the table to keep all the tables balanced and if you blind them out, half the players at the table have a positional advantage for those blinds over the other half of the table.  Thinking more about it I think a better decision might have been to blind out the dead stack every hand so the chips are in there everypot and the positional advantage is lessened.

if it was known in advance, and it sounds like it was, that the player would not be there then you would've thought that moving everyone up 1 spot in the league and letting player 21 in would be the best option.

as played you just have to put his stack on the table and blind him away. the stuff about positional advantage to some players is nonsense, it's only like being drawn with kinboshi on your left
