[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in the 1980s folks gave 15 to 20 percent. 15 percent mediocre service up to 20 percent great service. But that was CASH.
20 percent today on credit card is not anywhere near what it was. 
It is minus 
Credit card fee
Holding back portion bus boys and back of house
Unemployment insurance 
Social security 
Medicare tax 
State tax
Fed tax 
Plus if a student on financial aid or adult with subsidized Obama care it impacts their financial aid or health care premium.

So the $100 tip of 1989 in cash vs. $100 tip on credit card in 2023 is a massive difference.

And some restaurants if credit card fraud and charge reversed takes back the credit card tip.

So you are mad about actually having to pay taxes on your income, tipping out back of house staff, and not being able to hide your income from your university or the government in order to get more subsidies that are intended for people below a certain income?

So you're upset that servers have to play by the exact same rules as everyone else? The horrors.[/quote]

Because it is such low pay not worth it on card. Let’s say a baby sitter comes over and you say $10 an hour I ordered a pie. But you actually pay her $6 an hour do to “withholding. You just gave her a 40 percent pay cut.

You should pay her like $14.50 and hour if you are taking 40 percent to equal $10 [/quote]

Stop trying to justify your tax fraud. You are supposed to have taxes, social security, etc taken out of your earnings like everyone else. We have no sympathy for you. [/quote]
