would be curious to know the stats on tips being paid on a card vs tips being paid in cash. I don’t see or use a lot of cash anymore, especially since covid. though cash is pretty invisible, so collecting that data would be impossible.

when people get tipped out on credit card transactions, I would assume that is reported as income via the restaurant/bar/etc. if so, my from the hip shit is that a lot of tips are taxed.

it’s definitely something my hospitality pals complain about, though none of them are chuddy lol and aren’t expecting any fix there.
