Why are people tipping in Cash if they are paying by Credit Card? (And I'm not reading the entire 8 pages if this was already talked about)

In a nutshell because LPL gives his employer's shit away.

It's not. I did it because then the people humping for tips can tell Uncle Sam what they made---not some manager's printout at closing. But I guess places just tax on a percentage of sales now so it doesn't matter as much. Still, I'd imagine cash is still king in the hospitality industry.

Most bars tax on percentage of the register so unless you're not ringing stuff in it really doesn't matter if its cash/credit for the tip.

You really get screwed if a big party stiffs the tip because you're going to get taxed as if they tipped at least 15% even if they didn't. In the end the bartenders will still steal enough to make out in the end

Sure it matters. On a card, there's a record of how much is tipped. When you get tipped more than 15% in cash, there's no paper trail so nobody knows how much you really made.

It doesn't matter. They take a % of your register and tax u on that (even if cc tip was higher than %)
