There are not many Nevada "clerks" left, I may be one of the last. If there are any others out there I would love to hear from them. Dwayne Kling is one.
I turned out as a crap dealer in 1956, in Reno, Nevada. I had overheard some dealers referring to other dealers as "a good clerk." At the end of the year, I learned the reason for the term.
The IRS had no classification for dealers, so we were listed as "retail clerks," thus the expression, "he's a good clerk."
Not sure of the year when it changed, and dealers or casino employees had their own classification, but I imagine it was quite some time ago.
I checked the IRS site and could not make heads or tails of it, so not sure what their classification might be.
