I would suspect that you are just overpaying the business, at that point.
To be honest, unless I'm leaving cash, I have my doubts about whether the tip actually makes it to the server.
- placeybordeaux 11y ago> To be honest, unless I'm leaving cash, I have my doubts about whether the tip actually makes it to the server. I would be shocked to hear of any restaurants that do that. A warning sign would be the owner running the register. And for one data point: the restaurant I worked at would convert all tips on credit cards to cash that the servers could take home that day at end of business.

- gamblor956 11y agoThe proper allocation of tips left with a credit card are trivially auditable by the IRS, and indeed is one of the Small Business Division's focus points when auditing restaurants. It's not just a tax matter; if the audit uncovers fraud, they refer the case to the DOL and the DOJ.
