That's kinda true.

Some dealers are way more entitled than restaurant servers, because the expected tip at restaurants is fairly well defined, whereas in gambling circles it isn't.

Speaking of restaurants, it pisses me off when people say, "I always tip, even if the server is a rude asshole to me", as if that makes them some sort of great person.

No, it makes you a chump.

If a server is a rude asshole to you, he deserves both zero point zero tip and a complaint to the manager.

I'm talking about actual full on rudeness or nasty remarks, not just a server who is brusque or unfriendly. I'll tolerate those and still tip normally. But if the server gets nasty or confrontational with me, 100% they get a big zero plus a complaint.

If you still feel guilty about not tipping in that spot, take the money you saved and donate it to your favorite charity, or give it to a friend who is struggling financially. Don't give it to an asshole just because it makes you feel like a good person for doing so.
