Well I have to get this off my chest. Not only is table personally paid more in many cases, the same goes for the chain crew in football games in multiple cases.

Secondly when something goes wrong, they do not blame the table, they blame the officials on the floor. It is like anything in life, you need to know your role or place in the game. Table people are there to assist, so if they do not know that we will have a lot of problems.

Many of us have had enough bad table people to only have a miserable night as a result. If you cannot handle being given instruction, then that position is not for you IMO.

Peace
