This past weekend i encountered a strange issue playing blackjack. Me and my wife were at our regular store playing as usual. We were both at the same table and we frequent this place enough the dealers and pit know us by name and we chat with them on occasion when its slow or we like to chit chat while playing, so we know them fairly personally just from playing with them at the casino.
Back the story. we were playing at a 5$ shoe game, count was negative so i was betting 5$ min. I had a 17 and dealer flipped a 17 for a push. The dealer payed my push and I noticed it, after she scooped the cards up into the discard rack, i mentioned "I pushed" and pointed at the money, she sort of looked at me and i repeated that i had pushed and she proceeded to fling the chip across the felt closer to me with her fingers and gave me a look. I was sort of shocked as i am fairly certain she heard me loud and clear... I am not sure if she was just too lazy to call the floor over and deal with it or what... After she looked at me i was sort of shocked so just kept quiet about kept playing as normal... nobody else, not even my wife right next to me realized what happened. I did not like it or feel comfortable about it. I generally tip a few bucks here and there depending on how the game is going but when she left i didnt want the 5$ she flinged at me so i tipped it back to her. In hindsight i think that looks worse, but i wasnt sure how to handle the situation. I think maybe i could have left the chip on the seat or "accidentally" dropped it on the floor just to get it out of my possession. Not sure if i could get in trouble in a situation like this, would i just play dumb like i didnt know what happened if confronted?? I understand honest errors happen and i have seen them but this was intentional.... I can believe she might have honestly paid my 17 in error but the flinging it to me after i pointed it out was deliberate Not sure if i should have kept bringing it up until it was fixed or just let it be and continue on like I did.
What should i have done/ how would handle this situation? It was just a single red chip but i need some insight on how to handle this sort of situation again if it comes up again or with even more money in the mix.
