I was in the game yesterday; it was a big improvement.
1) The whole "pot size" argument... you would have a point if the game was played 100% white chips, but that's not the case. On the turn and river, people putting up 2 red chips to bet/call or 3 red chips to raise actually makes the pot "shrink" after you make change.
1a) Kill pots used to be mostly red chips. Now they look huge.
2) Making change takes time. Time is money, for both you and the house.
3) Tightest game you ever played in your life? LOL! That game has 4-6 people seeing every flop. A few of the regulars will literally limp ATC all day long. Sorry you lost money in a great game.
My personal preference would be 100% white for that game, but that wasn't happening. Waiting for seniors to cut out 24 chips for a raise in a kill pot would pretty much suck anyway.
