Whole issue would be moot if eating establishments just paid their own employees.

Whole issue would be moot if eating establishments just paid their own employees. I guess I have asked myself this for many years. But it is one of those "Don't ask why" situations, because I never got a tip when I guided fishing or hunting, expecting it to be part of my daily wage...

I once had wait staff steal tips from me!
A local restaurant was going out of business as the owner was retiring. It was a good place that I had been to many times and hated to see it close.
Had dinner there on the last day of business, paid with a card and added a tip of $8.00 to the card.
Two weeks later I discovered that the waitress had changed the tip to $28.00.
Taught me to wear my reading glasses and write a bit neater in the future.
Could have disputed it but chalked it up to a learning experience.

Likely by another of the waitstaff. Busboy perhaps? Likely a Dimocrap.

I always put the tip in my wait person’s hand.
Especially at my mexican dive. That place is fulla shîtbirds and shady dirtbags like blackheart and other white trash. This, I hand it right to the server or put it on the credit card.

I worked as a busboy at some high end restaurants in Atlanta when I was in college. Most tips were in cash, and the waiter/waitress got half, and the cook got 25 percent and the busboy got 25 percent. I made some pretty good money, plus got a free meal every day. Plus lots of girls work at restaurants, some of these girls are lonely!
Money, food, and chicks, what more does a college boy need. I don't remember any problem with tips being stolen.

Only sure way to make sure your server gets it. You put the cash in their hand. Hasbeen this ... and I hate places that they make the tip split with the cooks and everybody else. I hate even worse places that just figure the tip on your bill if you play with a credit / debit card without even asking

Money, food, and chicks, what more does a college boy need. I don't remember any problem with tips being stolen. Exact same experience when I was in college, except as busboy, I received 15% of the waitresses tips, always cash. And the food was free and the girls…… It was a good gig.

Well hell, I thought this thread was gonna teach me how to steal better.
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Could have disputed it but chalked it up to a learning experience. Not sure how this could happen. The server can change the tip amount but how do they change the total anmount at the bottom of the cc signed receipt? Smells like BS to me.

I tend to tip on my card to be split between the staff and add a little cash to the waitresses hand as well.
On Christmas eve we didn’t feel like cooking so we went to a local restaraunt we got to fairly often. The only waitress was an older gal in her 50’s that we know well and she dotes on my 7 yo son. The bill got a nice 30% tip on the card and she was handed a $100 bill and told it was a gift for her alone.
No way in hell I was leaving a $100 bill on the table
