I am baffled at why people who aren't at the table expect to be dealt in.

If he returns and says to the dealer "why didn't you deal me in" the dealer should never say "because you were not in your seat". If a player pays his blinds, he should get dealt in until he misses a blind. You have to actually remember to say to the dealer "deal me in next hand" if you want to stand up for a minute... and even then they often forget to deal you in. Why is this even a rule? Am I missing something here?

Why can't we deal to a stack until said stack has a missed blind button?

I hope you consider this. I would really appreciate an answer as well.

Thank you!

Maybe Stan doesn't feel like retraining 200 dealers when the current system is 100% fine.

Depends if it is a time game or not. Many places if you pay time you get a hand until you miss a blinds after all you did pay the blinds and the rake. If you are on your way back from the bathroom and it is a time game you should get a hand. Raked games is a different story.

I should have been more clear. I was talking about time games (20-40 limit). If I am paying $7 per half hour, I should get dealt in after paying my blinds even if I am not at the table. Retrain dealers you say??? Let's hold a 4 hour seminar for them!?!?!? I am baffled at how utterly stupid you assume dealers must be. This is all it takes: "Dealers, hence forward you shall deal to a stack until said stack has a button".

Makes perfect sense to me.

This is standard in most timed 20/40 games around the country. FWIW

Oh yeah, that guy is really good. But most of them are fish, that's all I'm sayin...

Why would the players in a timed game want a rule change that slows the game down? Makes ZERO sense to me.

That's fine but I consider Borgata to be the standard for how just about everything should be done in a poker room and I am not terribly interested in them adopting anyone else's rules.

Slowing down the game? I don't understand. Are you referring to when the player on the right of the "dead hand" simply keeps playing b/c no one is there. And then either he or the player to the left of the hand mucks it? This is also not a jackpot game FWIW.
