While true, I keep a cash stash on hand to ensure that the person who provides the service receives the gratuity. Seems like the minimum I can do.

Pardon me? So you just went ahead and assumed or decided that I don't tip just because I don't use cash. I alway tip - always! The salons I go to allow tips on credit cards. Maybe you need to get out more.

tip on credit card is reported as income and taxed

tip as cash is not reported as income

Love that I don’t have to have cash, make change and calculate a tip.

ok that’s great - can you please share the name? Would prefer to skip cash in the future

btw how much do people usually tip these days? The service was $25 so I tipped $10. too little? too much? just right?

Even more reason why you should tip with your credit card. Sorry pay your taxes, like I do.
