Restaurant Tips - What Every Customer Should Know
The Chicago Tribune today ran an interesting article about how tips are divided among restaurant employees and how some restaurants keep a portion of credit card tips to cover the fees charged to the restaurants by credit card companies.
There’s nothing in this article restaurant, bar and coffee house people don’t already know, but it may help inform a few of your customers.
And for you restaurant and bar patrons reading this, if you really want to do something nice for your server, pay your bill with a credit card, but tip with cash.

Most people are good tippers. Some people aren’t and never will be. I like the article but i doubt it will make bad tippers change their ways.
