Of course I cannot speak for all dealers, but...
When I under-rake a pot, it's not "just trying to save time", as it takes no time at all--it's because I got distracted by something (it doesn't take much), and switching your brain between auto-pilot and conscious thought isn't as easy as it sounds. Turn off my auto-pilot, which has been taking the rake, and all bets are off.
BTW, I've never done it, but I have felt the temptation to over-rake a pot going to a stiff. Same as I've never punched an obnoxious person, despite occasional temptation. Part of your brain wants to lash out and hurt people who annoy you, but then you remember that you are a grown-up. Sadly, I've worked with plenty of dealers who are decidedly NOT grown-ups.
