I happened to be playing cards last night in a London casino where a dealer from the Empire was also in the game.
He got into a conversation with someone else about tipping and how much the staff might pick up from the WSOPE Main Event winner, and there was a fairly scornful remark about the fact that as top prize is £801k "he'd probably just leave the £1k".
The other player said he thought they would probably leave more and so the Empire chap felt the need to validate his assertion by announcing to the table the name of a specific bracelet winner from an earlier event who "hadn't left a penny for the staff".
I bit my lip to avoid an argument, but was pretty disgusted.

Jamie, do you have any colleagues that act stupidly sometimes?
Do you have any kind of bonus scheme at Blue Square?
Do you think you should be denied part of your bonus if a colleague acts stupidly?
There are many reasons not to tip, this is not one of them.

*Bites lip* lol Ahh my apologies, the person I was thinking of doesn't work for Blue Square. The other thread I mentioned was where people were knocking Dave Smith for not tipping. There are a number of reasons why some people may decide not to tip. I personally couldn't not tip unless I was really peeved at something but I wouldn't necessarily disagree with instances where people don't. |
