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

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.

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
