If people feel that the current tipping tradition is illogical in places, such as with poker dealers,then they often will try to convince others.
Cheap people would usually not bother posting.
I believe that poker dealers tips grants them a wage that is undeserved by the job and the job requirements. I have stated so. Out of fear of bad decisions, I tip poker dealers, less than average but close to average
I also feel that some other occupations are under paid. Garbage men are a very important part of our society and they are doing a difficult, dangerous, disgusting, smelly job in all weather conditions. I tip them well at Christmas time. I tip them when I leave the occasional large amount on the curb. I encourage others to do the same.
In a nut shell, I am posting this because of my moral outrage over how tipping is done in the US. If I just wanted to stiff dealers, I would do so and I would not bother to post.
PS: The money I tip is my money, I do not just feel it is mine
