I'm a quiet and respectful guy and have never opened the door to those "joking" remarks. He was trying to make me feel bad and he insults me in a foreign language so other players can't see what he was doing.
He will gain satisfaction if I complained to him or the floor about it because he will think that what he said got to me. So I will choose the passive aggressive route and stop tipping him. I think that will piss him off the most and there's nothing he can do about it except fume behind the box. If he jabs at me again I may jokingly call the floor or call him out at the table, but I ain't tipping him. That'll show him who's boss and put this a-hole in his place. I hope I hit the jackpot when he's dealing just so I can stiff him. Ha!
Well, I for one agree with your decision not to tip because only you knew how it went down, how you tried to make things better, and how he insisted and persisted on being this hater. Too bad you didn't try to nip it in the bud, maybe it wouldn't have escalated to what it's become today. You had the perfect opportunity to express yourself because you could've done it in your language where (probably) no one at the table would've been any the wiser. You could've been nice about it, you could've been polite, or you could've chosen the 'stfu' approach. But at least you would've given yourself a chance to really diffuse the situation. But, it's a day late and a dollar short for that now, so.
And lol at people calling: choosing not to tip a real jerk-off as "passive aggressive."
The only part of your post above that I disagree with is, you feel that you're his boss. You're not his boss, you do however have some control over his bottom line(albeit how minuscule it may be on the grand scheme of things) but you're still not his boss. you don't want to tip him ever again because of what he did? Fine, and that's totally understandable. But, and what I'm trying to say is, try not to have these "I hope I hit a jackpot just so I could stiff him..." mindset. It's not who you are(at least it doesn't seem to be) and it just makes you sound like a hater, just like he is to you. No stooping needed, is all.
