Does penetration affect the non card counting basic strategy player?

I dropped into a casino that takes counter measures when they spot me. Today, I dropped in on the casino and started flat betting at a $10 table as the pit had seen me, got on the phone. Sure enough, the pit guy said something to the dealer and the dealer cut off half the 6 deck shoe. I played through the shoe flat betting. A ploppy jumped from another table to mine while cursing someone at other table. Within 2 rounds of his joining my table with me and 2 other ploppies, with him having won the round, the cut card comes out and the ploppy goes off on the dealer and then on the pit guy. The pit guy says the orders are from "upstairs" and if he did not like the table and the placement of the cut card on this table, he could move back to his table.

One of the other ploppies listened to the upset ploppy and they both left convinced that the cut card placement hurt them.
