Quoted:
I use a credit card for just about everything nowadays. Even the bill at restaurants. One exception is tipping at restaurants. When I have cash, I try to leave cash. I figure the server can claim it on his taxes as required. Same here, and for the same reason. Except I explicitly do it so they can not claim it on their taxes.

Prettymuch the same. I just write "On Table" where the tip amount is. Cash is immediate and can be attributed to the diner for the future as well.

Use a CC, they do get taxed.
Leave cash...well...it's up to them to claim it  I always preferred cash. If you used a CC, I much preferred to use the tip to even out the final cost. Example: Food = $10.44 + $4.56 = $15.00. Much easier to calculate everything at the end of the day. To me at least... |

I tip 20%+ if the service is good.
Businesses figure XX% tip in cash for Tax purposes. What do you think servers prefer?

Always--and I NEVER leave it on the table. Many years ago I saw a scumbag walk past a table and very discreetly grab the tip money. He never even looked down. As I saw it I told him to put it back. Since then I always pay the bill, then seek out the server and hand it to him/her.

I leave cash so they don't have to report it to the tax man. Since my nieces are waitresses I encourage others to use cash.

Almost always.
Sometimes I don't have cash, then they get a CC tip but normally I slash though the CC tip and give cash directly to the waitress/waiter. I don't like leaving it on the table. |

No. No. No.
Lots of restaurants pay out the credit card tips to the servers in cash from the drawers. That helps the servers get cash in hand and it lowers the amount of trips to the bank. So, it doesn't matter how you do it. |

Quoted: I use a credit card for just about everything nowadays. Even the bill at restaurants. One exception is tipping at restaurants. When I have cash, I try to leave cash. I figure the server can claim it on his taxes as required. Most servers seem to live on the edge, so: - If I leave $5 cash, the server can use that $5 immediately. - If I leave $5 on the card, the server won't see $3 until payday. The other $2 he may not see until he gets his tax refund in April 2016. Any thoughts here? Just a point to the bit in bold, even if you leave a tip on the card, the server still gets that money that day. The value of the card tip is subtracted from their cash due (cash collected from patrons who pay their food bill in cash that the server holds until they cash out at the end of their shift). However, as you noted, the tips left on cards MUST be claimed as income for tax purposes, so they take a bit more of a hit on their paycheck from it. But I agree, I always leave cash whenever possible. |

If the server was especially good, I give them a good cash tip. I also personally hand the cash to the server to be sure the server gets it, and it's not taken by someone else.
Mediocre servers get whatever comes from a credit card charged tip. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If I gotta wait an hour for them to come back around, they probably didn't get a damn tip anyway.

I pay in cash as much as possible, more so to a mom and pop business! As a small business owner I understand the costs of having to accept credit cards. (we get charged just like the user).
However when it comes to tips, I always go cash! |

There was one time me and a buddy went to a Chinese buffet out of town. I had no cash on me and it was one of those places where the waitress brings/refills your drink and takes away your plates, but you pay up front at the register.
We both planned on giving tips on the cards, but as we were both walking away from the booth the waitress came over and mumbled something under her breath, and I strongly suspect the reason was that there was no cash left on the table.. We both noticed and he went back and put some down... I left $5 on the receipt...

After eating the entire meal, I'd then complain that it was not up to my expectations, refuse to pay and if they dared to say anything I'd feel that is disrespectful, I'd start a riot.
That's what I'd do if I was a ...dot dot dot Seriously though, I tip cash and probably more than most. Unless the service sucked, but still more than dot dot dot. |

Every restaurant I worked for and most of the people I knew that worked for other restaurants would cash out server's tips at the end of the shift or by the next day at the latest, cash in an envelope in the office. It really makes no difference cash or credit tips with the exception of taxable income the server is obligated to claim on their income. |

Bartenders and servers tip out from the till. This cuts down on the cash that has to be deposited, and no one has to keep track of tips beyond a shift/day.

I think its best to leave cash.
Ive always tipped very generously. I dated a few waitresses/bartenders and heard the horror stories. When the waitress is hot and waits on a table of women that are older and or not that good looking she can pretty much expect next to nothing. |
