I try to give servers cash whenever I can, but it’s not too often. Let’s face it… people generally don’t carry that much cash anymore.

That's odd. As a server, I deal with lots of cash on a nightly basis. At the end of the night, I print out a sheet from the computer. It tells me how much money I owe the store. It takes the total amount of money paid to the store and to taxes and subtracts all credit card tips and your nightly tip-share to the busser and bartender. In this manner, you leave with exactly what you've made in tips minus what you tip out to those that helped you. I'm not sure why you don't get to touch the money from credit cards. Guess it just sounds strange to me.
