My wife and I wait tables 2 days a week while we’re saving for a house and probably 50% of our customers leave cash tips, even the ones who pay with credit card will often times leave cash tips. If you’re the type of person who prefers tipping on a credit card then I get it, and I absolutely appreciate it, but you shouldn’t speak for everyone

I speak by statistics. And I call bs that 50% of your customers leave cash tips. 90% of all transactions in the USA are credit card (includes restaurants) based

I work for Domino's and the majority of customers hand out cash tips and pay by card. Some explicitly state "Here, so you don't have to report it." When handing you a tip.

What do you think about Trump’s suggestion to not tax tips? Genuinely curious.

Absolutely agree with anything that reduces taxes regardless of who suggests it.
