...And the Rest On The Card

If you are the group that pays half cash (for one group of diners) and "the rest on the card." -
The dude with the credit card tip line is TIPPING FOR HIS HALF... THE CASH DUDE BETTER PUT CASH IN THE BOOK FOR A TIP

IF NOT - the only tip the server gets is from the credit card.

Example:
$100 bill for 2 people
person #1 puts $60 in cash in
person #2 puts the rest on his card...
What should person #2 tip?
If you say $20 - you are right!!!
BUT usually person #2 tips on his amount on the card: $40, which means for a $100 bill, the server gets
an $8 tip TOTAL!!!

Person with cash, it is your responsibility in this situation to make sure that the server gets tipped what they deserve. If this means that you must put yourself in the position to ask your "friend" you are eating with if they tipped on the whole bill - do so! If you fell comfortable sitting and eating with a person, you should be able to feel comfortable making sure the bill is paid properly.

Most intelligent people might be asking, why is she blogging about this. Thank you for being the 10% of people who do not do this. If you are thinking "wow, I never thought of that!" - now think of every server you have stiffed and make up for it the next time you go out to eat!
On that note, I might be working tonight. Come and find me, I would love to "forgive you" for your past sins.

But, I'm Just a Waitress... What Do I Know?!
