Do you just eat it or send it back?

It all depends on the service for me. Piss poor tip for piss poor service. Average tip for average service. Great tip for great service. It's not rocket science.

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.

I was talking about credit card tips... although they are SUPPOSED to claim their cash tips too, I've never heard of a server at any restaurant claiming them.

I thought Michigan has a standard server minimum wage and it's 2.65?

Yeah.. I thought she meant that servers make the "real" minimum wage, and if they only get $2.65, then that's like a 1/3 of the minimum wage. I would hope they'd get at least $5 an hour in tips though.
