Rob Singer's Commentary

[Dan Druff]

I mostly agree with his article about casino tipping (though I'm not as hard-line as he is).

For the purpose of discussion, what do you "mostly" agree with?

I agree with his general philosophy regarding casino tipping.

Casinos should start paying employees better base salaries, and the whole practice of tipping them should stop.

The handpay tips are especially ridiculous, because handpay isn't a service. It's something that's done according to gaming law. Rob is correct that you don't tip bank tellers for doing essentially the same job. It has also gotten obnoxious how entitled a lot of these handpayers have gotten, to where a token $5-$10 tip isn't enough, and they make an angry face at you for giving them "too little". Funny how these people think they are entitled to big tips, yet the guys in the same hotel cleaning the public toilets don't get any tips at all.
