It is obvious that some people in this thread have never worked in the service industry, where tips can make up the majority of your income.

Nevada's current minimum wage is $8.25 an hour ($7.25 if you are provided benefits). A 2 bedroom apartment in the Las Vegas area runs between $950-$1,100 per month. At 40 hours a week, minimum wage earners make $1,160 - $1,320 per month.

I know, you will tell me that this is not your problem, that they should get another job, blah blah blah…

Dealing a full poker game, keeping the players in line and acting in turn can be quite difficult, especially when you add alcohol and money into the mix.

I tip because I come from a bartending/server background and understand that these workers need the extra income. This does not mean that I blindly throw money at them, but rather that I appreciate good service and reward it. If I receive poor service, then the tip is smaller.

If you cannot afford to tip, you cannot afford to eat out (or play poker). The next time that you hesitate to give somebody a gratuity ask yourself if that person has provided a service that benefited you, and if you yourself would be capable of performing the exact same service to others, then double your normal tip because I doubt that you would be able to survive in a bar, restaurant or poker box for more than an hour
