My comments weren't meant to take shots at or embarrass anyone.

If I felt like taking shots at an inexperienced player for not toking then I'd look at them and say, "Hey Dork, why aren't you tipping? Dealers have to make a living too you know!"

In my experience it's best not to comment or make suggestions about other players actions. That type of dialogue can often create a bad vibe at the table and that's just -EV. B&M games aren't all "happy go lucky" situations. Not everyone is there to have fun and play cards. Sure there will be games full of nice people enjoying a social game but just as often you're playing with drunks, addicts, people playing way over their head financially, or just total a$$holes.

Suggesting to another player, "usually it's a nice thing to tip the dealer after winning a pot like that" might be met with a response like "Oh, O.K. thanks" or it might be met with, "Usually it's a nice thing to mind your own f#@king business. This guys been dealing me crap all night!"

Asking the dealer if you missed toking him is common in live games. In that context few if any people are going to take a dialogue between the dealer and another player personally.
