If the service was decent, I’ll tip in cash, which is not traceable by Uncle Sam, and put the rest on the credit card, which is traeable. That would sure help the server.

Given the service is equal, in similar situation, I’ll tip the overweigt, older, not so good looking fat chick server more, because she works hard and probably didn’t get much breaks in life. The nice looking chicks could do less with my money. That’s my little way of making things more fair.

Once you put the sale on the credit card, it doesn't matter if you leave the tip in gold buillion, that tip is recorded.

Wrong. Many years ago Uncle Sam figured that out, and counts that as a server you make a minimum of x amount of the restaurant's receipts. The days of cash tips under the table are long gone. The only way around that is being off the books entirely.
