Actually, neither of you have any idea whether or not he deserved to be fired. You don't know how bad this incident was, how long he had been doing it, if he had ever been talked to about it before, or if he had other issues at work.

Although I don't know why I included GPAD in that reply, as he seems to be just trolling this thread, and not in a very clever or humourous way.

I find when a thread's content is annoying me, the solution is to keep reading it, and when I want a thread to die, the best approach is to post in it.

Nail on the head. Every time he tries to repeat his troll almost verbatim, he just reminds us how badly he keeps failing at being clever, and how infantile and petulant he is to keep trying.

I used to drive a cab and we worked for tips. To this day I tip service providers generously. And lol nobody tips a cashier at the grocery store but let me ask: Do you drop some change into the tip bucket at your local coffee shop?

We're talking about a few lousy dollars here. I know, I know, IT'S THE PRINCIPLE! And I say ptoooey to that in this case.

All you have posted in this thread are trolling replies both to and about my comments. Somehow you just did so again even though I hadn't posted in this thread in 5 days. Congratulations, you ARE the biggest troll.

I have a genuine concern for this man's welfare. When I heard that he may not have been fired I nearly jumped through the ceiling with Joy. If anyone has any knowledge of his whereabouts and well being please provide an update. Thank you so much!

To be fair I think that he inarticulately tried to make this point: That I'd pay the driver to take me where I wanted to go instead of where HE wanted to go. Either that or he comes from someplace where tipping is not standard.

While you may be right, I don't think it was obvious at all, especially since he didn't say anything about before and his second example seemed to be about someone people don't normally tip and had nothing to do with tipping before or after.

Thanks for the post Mike. This information helps explain a situation I experienced maybe three years ago. I was in the poker room at the Gold Strike in Tunica waiting for an Omaha/8 table to open up. There were already six people on the sign up list when I added my name. I did not want to play hold 'em, so I took a seat at an empty table and spent time chatting with the dealers assuming that the table would be called at any moment. (I had witnessed hold 'em tables that were opened with as few as five players on the waiting list.) Within an hour there were nine or ten people on the Omaha/8 wait list, so I thought the table should be called immediately. Not wanting to raise a stink or anything like that, (who, me!?), but also wanting the game to start as I was well on my way to becoming an Omaholic, I approached the floor manager and asked when the Omaha/8 table would be called?

Here is the problem, and I witness it regularly. People sign up for games but then won't play them. I suspect that the brush knew that some of these people had no intention of playing. Also, some rooms will not open a new game that will cause another table to break. If it was a 4/8 limit o8 game, you probably wouldn't have enjoyed many of the players anyway. They can be some real pricks.

Maybe they are waiting for a 5/10 gane to start and maybe they make a lot more there??? Same story with the sngs like i said before, sometimes they dont open the ones u want brcause there arent enough tables dealers and there is a lot of ask for higher sngs... I played these sngs at the wsop and it was annoying to see them opening 275 after 275 and 1ks didnt run enough just because of ghe idiotic lady at the podium.

The last few days when they actually fill all the available tables they will put out whatever sat has the most people waiting for it. The priority is to get that table filled and running as fast as possible. If players show up for 275's that is what they'll run. The 1k's last about an hour longer so there is less turnover.

Dont forget that they make a lot more with these because getting into a 10k creates a bit more rake than 2500$.

They really aren't a profit generator - they're all about getting people into the bracelet events. The smaller satellites give out the same lammers, just fewer of them. Many people are more comfortable grinding out a bunch of smaller sats against hopefully weaker opponents. Unless you've actually seen the lists there's no way for you to know how many people were waiting for a 1k vs 275 or 525.
