I've been a server, so it's 20%+...in cash.
frick that, they should pay taxes same as I do. I'll give them 20%, but it's almost always on the card.

It's not all about taxes. The waiter will see all of my tip instead of some of it going to credit card fees.

so 95% of it is about undisclosed income

Not true at many places. Many restaurants trying to protect their own arse will claim you a standard amount for the amount of hours you worked if you aren't declaring any. Maybe 20%-30% at many restaurants for waiters these days are undisclosed earnings.

Waiters don't pay the fees

if the card is swiped .. which it almost always is at a restaurant .. the fees are anywhere from 1.85% to 3.5% depending on the card ... so on a $10 tip, if the customer pays with a VISA card, you are losing a whopping 18.5 cents ..

Some places do pass the charge along.

is it just me, or is it rude to ask other people how they spend their own money
It's just you.
Should I change the OP to "Lets discuss the appropriate tip percentage if you want to and if I'm not being too intrusive and if I am I'll put myself in timeout and while we're having this discussion can Rouge tell us how much money he makes and is he really paying all of his taxes to the government?"

What makes the pissing contest in this thread any different than the other two hundred a day?
And you didn't tell me how much you make.

I feel bad leaving just 2$, so i usually thrown in a bit extra.
me too. I feel that way at lunch. Some friends leave $1.50 because that's the double tax and I just cannot do that. Normally, $2-3 is about my minimum.

If the waitress is hot I'll give her more than "just the tip".
