I almost lost my cool with a dealer last night. He was doing everything imaginable to slow the game down, it was bizarre.
He did dozens of things, for example:
He moved the deck forward to be cut and just as the player brought the cut card down, he slid the deck back so the guy missed. Everyone laughed while I rolled my eyes. He offered the deck again, slid it back again. He did this FOUR times before finally letting the guy cut.
He also did the whole pretend he has a blackjack thing every single time he checked.
I stuck it out, the count was good and he gave great penetration. It was really, really difficult for me to not say something.
I'm pretty sure unnecessarily slow dealers are my biggest pet peeve.
I remember one lady was brutally slow while I was heads up and I finally said something. Turns out she was going slow on purpose because she figured I wanted to wait for more players. Once she knew I wanted to get hands she was quick.
