I carry cash when I know I'm going to be eating out. It has made it much less awkward because they are not spinning the Clover terminal around, or handing me the card terminal asking for a tip.
- sneak 2y agoIt's important to always pay sustenance workers in cash. Anything else is inconsiderate and rude. People in those jobs are usually dearly hanging on to the margins and causing all of their income to be taxable for no good reason is heartless. It's also just generally a good idea to carry cash. Electronic payments have too many failure modes, not the least of which are power and connectivity. (Currently posting this from a disaster zone which is thankfully still connected to the internet.)
- tophi 2y agoGuess I will be rude then. I’m not going back to cash.
- schmookeeg 2y agoTheir income is taxable whether I pay with cash or card. I do not cause the tax code. Your senses of both etiquette and empathy are bizarre to me.
- tophi 2y agoRight, if I tip I am heartless? If I am heartless I may as well not tip. Delusional.
- mcnrb12 2y agonot true for taxes. most get their tips paid out in cash at the end of the night and don't pay taxes on it unless they report it all, which they rarely do.
- Molitor5901 2y agoAs a server in my youth I was taught to always hit $1 for how much of tips I earned that shift, when clocking out at the end of the night. I did not know any better but it was sort of a given that is what you do.
- charlie90 2y ago> for no good reason You cant think of a reason for people to pay taxes?
