I used to think this was true until I started paying attention to the numbers on the Micros system and other POS systems that I'm familiar with. It makes no difference if you leave a tip on the card or cash. When you enter in zero in the tip amount, that POS system automatically assumes you were left 10 to 12 percent in cash and claims it as such.

It wasn't credit card fees you were paying, it was tipshare. Baretender/hosts/busboys

No shite?

I might start leaving a penny tip on the card so they don't get the cash I leave them slashed.
