That's not the only type of skulduggery that can happen. Ever hear of tip fraud?

That's why I always leave cash tips and draw a big slash on the tip column of the bill.

I do the same, except I write "on table" on the tip line, which probably elicits snickers from the staff after I've left, but oh, well.

The servers prefer you to leave cash as well, b/c it’s not automatically declared like the CC receipts are.

Fridays in Addison, TX is using this new format from Micros. It’s actually a pretty cool deal for the customer and the server. Each server had a hand-micros, ear-piece, and microphone. It cuts down the time the server is away from your table, especially if he/she is busy, and allows him to radio for help if he gets in the weeds. I was impressed by it.
