I wouldn't do that - after all, Jacksons are money, too. But I do know that when I had mentioned to my independent host years ago that an attendant at one of the CET properties did that to me, she was furious. She told me they were specifically instructed not to do that. She also, I believe took it up directly with management. (Admittedly, that was a number of years ago, and I don't know if the same guidelines are in place now) Bringing you twenties is obviously angling for a tip, and a twenty-dollar tip at that. If I didn't specifically request all hundreds, i.e., if I forgot, then I would tip as I normally would. It is only if they completely disregard what I request (what ever happened to "the customer is always right"?) then I would stiff them.
I believe everyone should tip, or not tip, according to what they feel is proper. I see many handpays being made, and absolutely no tip is given. That is that players right. I happen to tip men's room attendants, when the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. I tip the casino cleaning person, especially when some other players have left the area a pigsty. (They get so few tips, that they really appreciate it.) I tip the valets both when dropping off and picking up. I leave the maids tips every day. I overtip in restaurants and lounges, especially when I get very good service. But if the waiters are clearly standing around BS-ing when I'm waiting for my dinner, and then the dinner arrives cold, they shouldn't be hoping for the first years tuition to Harvard for their kid when the bill is presented. I'm glad to tip the slot people when they are prompt and bring me what I asked for. Others can do what ever they like. YMMV.

>If they bring me back a broken Benjie, it is ALWAYS 5 twenties. That earns them a $0 tip. On the rare occasion when I've gotten either a question, comment or dirty look, I remind them that I asked for all hundreds, and they didn't give me what I asked for. The usual excuse is, "That's what the cashier gave me"; my response, "You should have given back the twenties and gotten me what I asked for." No one has ever screwed up the second hand pay when that happened.
A friend told me he got 5 $20s included in an $800 hand pay, he took
his hand away so they couldn't give him the $20s, and they 86ed him.
