If you do this get the fuck off my blog

Please understand that they gave a 33% tip, in cash instead of on a card, to increase the odds that the server could keep all of it.

What they mean by ‘taxation is theft’ is that servers are taxed on the ASSUMPTION that they will be tipped. If they don’t make those tips, they get taxed on them anyway. It is literally theft. By leaving cash and not writing it on the receipt, they’ve allowed the server the option of quietly slipping that 20 into their pocket and therefore not being taxed on it.

This is how to ensure servers get more money and have a liveable standard of living. How ever the server also has to be aware that they also have to put enough cash upforward to make at least 8-15% (20% in my restaurant if you want to keep your job) So you can go under the guise that you’re making your money. And it won’t be considered “theft” so to who ever did this. Bless your heart. -sincerely a bartender/server
