Tipping

[ASTalumna06]

I would always prefer to get a cash tip because the money could be taken home that night. My paychecks for 2 weeks were usually under $75 (remember, they have to account for taxes on all of the tips you make, which includes cash tips… so it’s taken out of your tips that you receive from credit/debit cards). Getting a paycheck so small is pretty depressing. But walking out of the restaurant with $80-120 in my pocket on a good night was awesome

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.
