This guy clearly left the bulk of this tip in cash to make a joke.
I always tip just enough on the card to make a round number and then the rest in cash. I figure this way the waiter gets to put more in his pocket if he chooses.
Does anyone else do this?

It depends on what I have in my pocket at the time. The main thing is to avoid the whole "do you need change" nonsense. I'm not waiting around while the waiter makes a second round trip to the register.

Um, and how would anyone know that they lied about the cash they got in tips? It's not like anyone checks. They pocket it and say they got 50% less than what they did every time. They pool the 50% and keep the other 50% for themselves. How would anyone know they were lying?

Plus, here in the USA if a server doesn't make up to min wage through tips then the employer has to pay the difference, so the "they make less than min wage" argument is stupid.

I always pay the bill with a card and then tip in cash. That way, I can see how much of a bitch the waiter/waitress really is.

This is not true. Whether it was in cash or not, your overall sales dictates how much you're "supposed" to get in tips. So if it's all in cash even, you're still pretty much required to own up to 15% of your tips. Or whatever your job requires as far as percentages.

Credit cards just make it easier to track. Any extra I made though was mine. Tip out was still in that 15% bit. So say I made $20 in tips at a table. That extra $5 would still be untouched unless some other tables were flaky and didn't tip as much and that $5 kind of evens out what others didn't give me. In the end it still turns out being okay if you're low balled or doing quite well one day to the next.

Where I worked we handled all our own money, no cash register. At the end of the day if you're carrying a ton of cash around, you "owe" the house money based on what you sold. Sometimes when it's mostly credit card transactions, they owe YOU money for all the tips you've received.

I only had to work where tips were involved once and I had to share them. I felt like a whore. A complete whore. And I've been a prostitute. I never felt so low and used in my entire life. It was the single most degrading experience I ever had.

Never again. Ever, ever, again. I keep my own tips, I ain't nobody's bitch.

no. I usually leave either cash or full tip on the card. OP, that tip is decent if it was for lunch or something. I wouldn't tip more than 10% or 15% unless it was an extraordinary meal or had consummate service,or perhaps at dinner at a fine dining restaurant. For your run of the mill lunch join. it is about 11-12% which is normal.

Don't. Way too many places are starting to put out tip jars and having slots for tip on the bill. Don't feed into the bullshit.
You looked at the menu and saw a price. You made your decision based off of that price. For them to take on another 10-20% out of social obligation is them guilt tripping you into spending more than what you originally agreed upon. You work too hard for your money to just give it away because they have a jar out.

I think it's just a cultural quirk for the most part. That said, I usually treat the tip as a sort of evaluation; if the waiter is courteous and knows their shit then I'll give them a decent tip because I liked how I was served, if the opposite is true then I'll give a shit tip as a way of saying "you suck; this is all you're worth".

I went to a restaurant the other day and got a meal that was roughly $15 CDN. I'm a student so I don't have that much money. I paid with debit and the waitress noticed that I didn't tip so she left without saying thank you or anything.

I don't know who here's a Canada-fag, but this was at Don Cherries. Waitresses there get $11-$12 an hour and I got average service. Throughout my meal I never saw her once so I didn't think she deserved any extra money. However, if I get great service I usually tip 15%, I even do 10% if it was a bit above average but all she did was say hello, took my order, brought my food to me and came with the debit machine.
