I only tip in cash. The recipient can report it or not, none of my business.

Same here. Sometimes I slip the money into the waiter's pocket.

What a F’n clown.

Tax his 10% he gets from China/Ukraine. Any Congress critter who votes for this should have their finances audited as well.

[V1Rotate]

They will be taxing based on a 20% tip whether the party leaves a tip or not.

[dfwgator]

Do you want kiosks? Because that’s how you get kiosks.

[Vigilanteman]

I tip in cash and leave a few cents on the credit card to round up to the nearest dollar so they can have something to report to the IRS.

[frogjerk]

I was going to laugh as well. Why the Hell should the Government have any reward in a person providing good service?

[popdonnelly]

Democrats are for the little people.

[wardamneagle]

And bingo….

[V1Rotate]

Ten minutes in and I just picked up a 12 hour twitter ban.

"Only about 20% of tips are cash"

I tip in cash only. Some restaurants are not honest to their employees with tips on a credit card. Thus, I tip in cash only. If the waitress or waiter does not report it to the IRS, I do not care.

Same here...in fact, lately we pay the total bill plus tip in cash...they can report as they please. Small businesses deserve more support than 501c3’s

[TLI]

As: how much money handled at the restaurant so “probably” they assume, tippers must have given this much. Even if not true. From Turbotax: Are servers taxed on assumed tips?

So the Internal Robbery Service is now going to say "We think you made this much, so pay or go to jail."

livin' in the gangsta's paradise...

How much tax does Slo Joe pay on his criminal enterprise income. That’s different you say you old crook.

[wgmalabama]

That will make restaurants in large black areas have higher taxes than income.

[LibWhacker]

So essentially we’ll be tipping the waitress AND the government.

[Jeff Chandler]

I pay by (rewards) credit card, and hand the cash to the waiter personally. People have been known to steal tips.

Also, if it’s a place I’m likely to come back to, it doesn’t hurt for my face to have a direct mental association with the cash.

[jmacusa]

I admire traditionalism. One is not a true FReeper until one can say “Proudly posting before ever reading the article’’.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

So do mohels - those who do circumcisions at Jewish briths.

[ronnie raygun]

I’m sure the exception will be people of color, undocumented invaders, the LGBQLMNOP constituents and transgenders

[mewzilla]

Meanwhile, guess who gets a tax break...
