Interesting, yeah I pay by credit card so the $2 addition is definitely "on the books", unfortunately. I think each restaurant or chain has a different policy on how they disperse tips and I know some places do pool it (and I've def heard horror stories where the manager or owner keeps a huge chunk of the tips). But yeah I mean, everyone is valid and awesome and deserves to be treated right. Even if they make a mistake I only mention it if it's massive or repeated, and even then I don't want "a free meal", I just want to not have a key ingredient in my dish missing (or whatever) hahaha ;)
