The 25 cents at best of your tip that I'm keeping versus standing and not working for a few minutes, easy call. I'm not a dealer, but you know some of them think that way. If they know and slide the cut card forward when you are playing heads up, I doubt they care if you're counting, they just know how to create less work for themselves.
A lot of dealers are bored to death with an empty table and actually prefer to do something (deal) rather than nothing (standing, staring at people passing by).
I've had one dealer keep the count for me while he was dealing. I hadn't played with him ever before and it started almost as soon as I sat down at his empty table. I tried playing dumb, acting as though I didn't know what this information was good for, asking him "is that good or bad? ... so should I raise my bet now?" etc. I thought it would be bad if I just left immediately (I would look spooked out) so I played for a while. I was tipping every few hands, thanking him for his advice (so I said, although I didn't need it... it was actually more like thanking him for not busting me).
