Credit card tips seem like they'd be easier to "trace" and force the server to claim all of their tips. Which means you end up paying a shitload more income tax out of your base pay.
And servers don't make a standard min. wage, but it IS required that if a server isn't making the difference between their base pay and min. wage in tips, the restaurant has to make up the difference.

yea i was surprised to hear that servers get taxed, but i have never claimed all my tips, i usually claim about 1/4 of them when i clock out. Its better to leave cash as a tip b/c its less we have to claim..or something like that. My boyfriend worked at a restaurant that made you claim all your credit card tips (if you didnt., you wouldnt be able to clock out!)
As for me, i have never sent anything back. Luckily, i have never had a huge problem where i would have to.I dont mind taking something back if it is cooked way wrong or has something in it my customer is allergic too. Its funny when i get a table that gets a burger and doesnt realize we put lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on it (unless otherwise stated), and they pull the "ohhh, i dont like onions.." and hand it back to me. honestly, what do u think the cook is gonna do in the back? he is just gonna pick them off and depending on if it had cheese or not, maybe throw it back on the grill for 2 (literally) seconds. Save me the trip and trouble and take them off yourself
