Dealer Mistakes?

[bdawg31]

There is NO WAY i would have given that guy $20 - i wouldn't have given him $2, except maybe i would have thrown it on the floor and made him pick it up.

One time, i was playing a low-limit cash game in a casino and some kid splashed the pot with a call on the river when he knew he was beat. I was sitting next to the dealer with my chips stacked. His money rolled towards me and then a $5 chip fell off the table (it rolled between the little gap between the barrier and the dealer). I picked it up and put it on the table - sort of away from the stack so it could be seen. The dealer swept it in and slid the pot to the winner. Then the guy who won started complaining that his $5 chip was in my stack (keep in mind i had it piled up in stacks of 10s - nothing unstacked) and the dealer agreed with him. The kid and I argued with that guy for 5 minutes - he gave up but then the dealer started in on us. There was NO WAY i was giving that dork $5 - again based on principal alone. A floor person finally came over and other members of the table verified i had put the $5 back on the table. The dealer still muttered something about how i didn't - he and the kid argued for another 10 minutes (i am stubborn, but not THAT stubborn - i let it drop).
