[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking because my kid had a summer job (which she quit) at a mom-and-pop food place and the owner pretty much admitted to her that electronic tips are used to cover business expenses. I've since asked a counter worker at another independent food place if she received the electronic tips and she shook her head no. How common is this? Should I be tipping exclusively in cash? [/quote]

It's decided by the customer. 
Most customers are Aholes and will tip on credit and debit cards rather than giving cash now. Especially younger customers under 50s. 
Those customers get the extra spit service quite often. [/quote]
Not carrying cash make someone an a hole???

[b]Also, why does someone get a tip for ringing me up and pouring my drink into a cup?[/b] Is there anyway they could possibly do that better or worse than anyone else such that it deserves a “tip“? Arent tips for people that make below minimum wage and provide service?[/quote]

They don't. You don't seem to understand the reasons for tipping. That's not one of them. [/quote]

Then why do places like sweet frog, five guys, etc. have a tip jar? They’re getting paid minimum wage at least. I’d rather tip a lifeguard than the dodo at sweet frog. He just sits there and weighs my ice cream.  [/quote]
