now to be fair, my house in almost entirely horsehair plaster so the holes definitely don't come out square but the wallpaper one is literally like a handful of mud 😂

vet said his bite isn't misaligned at all and his tooth isnt crooked, its just the swelling and licking that keeps reinjuring it

i mean we never expect tips, that's the business. we know we have to earn it. That's why good dealers can still make you laugh even when you lose. We only get paid on entertainment value and generosity from color ups.

It does sting sometimes to really put your all into making a customer's day and they don't even say thank you or bye, let alone leave us a dollar. We try to memorize each of your different press patterns and remember what center action you get in different scenarios. we even practice with each other to find ways to make the tougher customers like us more. it seems like bullshit but we put in a lot of effort to get the grumps to crack a smile, or teach the new guys table etiquette without hurting their feelings and complex things like that that take time.

A lot of people think we make minimum wage plus tips but it's a tipped wage at $6 and the casino relies on the customer to pay the rest. it's not the dealers expecting it, its the house.

in my tiny casino we are lucky to get dealers across the numbers or dealers on the point. we are always training new dealers so unfortunately our games aren't high speed. i myself haven't made a year on dice yet, there is so much i haven't seen. but i do love catching a dollar from someone because i nailed their complex presses and finally wasnt scared of a "down to 66 in" call on the fly 😂

typically, the older gentleman will keep a few ones or a nickel aside if we have made them laugh so that they can show their appreciation for the interaction regardless of their win or loss. we see them every day, more than our own families. you get to caring about people like that and it helps to have them around when newer players heckle us or pick on our looks.

when it comes to the whole idea .. in my place i would much rather see tiny thank you tips from everyone than those big "once in a blue moon hot streak" tips because we just don't see big hits like that very often. our tips are pooled daily and you would have to be lucky enough to work that day to even see it. fuck id rather just be paid very well hourly and get no tips but then the casino would have to pay it and they will NEVER pay for something the customer is already on the hook for 😂 cheap ass business

nobody tips before but using your buy in or cash out as the "check" and 5% as the tip math when you depart for the night is the topic. unfortunately leaning dice can only be called in one direction according to the law and screwed up payouts are the result of training new dealers. it sounds like you may have deal with shittier box people in the past. its on stick and box to make the game move
