I try to do the server only has to report 10% if they choose to.
If it’s a business meal I may not because of the record keeping on my end for audits.

I am of firm belief that a gratuity should not be considered a taxable income.
If we’re talking about a job like a lot of service industry positions where a majority of their income is tips, then yes they should be taxed. Why should a server get to bring in $40-60k tax free because its 95% tips but someone who’s employer pays them $15-20 an hour is going to have the government take around 20% of that?
Plus if you don’t force them to report tips, then now practically everyone in the service industry qualifies for all sorts of welfare programs because on paper, they look like they make next to nothing. But in reality they’re earning a pretty decent income with tips.

Yes, haven't found a stripper with a card reader in her g-string yet.

If I start tipping that will just encourage them to keep the deadbeat job and not move up in the world.

This is a valid point, and I think the only fix would be to force restaurants/bars to pay their wait staff a standard wage.

This has already been the case for a long time, but has gotten better as credit card tips automatically report as income. Still common in cash heavy establishments.

Historically I have, but no longer will. I have never seen a more selfish and greedy group than servers. It has gotten out of hand and I will no longer support their theft from the government and complaints that they don’t make enough money to survive.
Cooking staff/bus boys is different in my opinion. They usually get shortchanged, but servers are overpaid and bitch and moan like no other group.

most always pay w/card - tip w/ cash
Posted on 8/12/24 at 9:17 am to Jax-Tiger
I tip cash, but am done with auto 20%. They make $15/hour in wage where I live. 10-15% is more appropriate now that they aren't working on tips only.

I always carry cash. Strippers and ‘ho’s appreciate it.

Greenbacks only.

Used to until assholes started posted credit card slips with no tip claiming they were stiffed. Not going to write left on table on my bill.
Posted on 8/12/24 at 11:32 am to Jax-Tiger
No. I rarely ever have cash on me these days.
Posted on 8/12/24 at 11:38 am to Jax-Tiger
I tip in cash. I was a waitress for a bit in college, and everyone knows their hourly wage is horrible. If they want to report it, it’s up to them. They’re usually grown arse adults (in nicer restaurants), and I’m not their mom.

CC only
I pay my taxes they can pay theirs

Always, even when using credit card to pay. Write “cash” on tip line and leave $$$.
Posted on 8/12/24 at 12:17 pm to Jax-Tiger
Cash. I pay big bills with checks and small with cash. I never use my credit card. My wife pays for all of her purchases with the credit card. That's how I keep check on her monthly spending habits.

Bingo. The whole suggestion is pretty much bullshite without overcomplicating the tax code.
Increase the EITC.
