Will you tip differently?

Given that there is now no tax on cash tips under 25k?

If you think about it, if taxes aren’t being paid they are making significantly more money.

On the other hand, it’s only on “claimed” cash tips, which often times are barely claimed anyway.

I tend to start at 20% minimum. Good service and I’m going up from there. I’d say I pay 25-30% more often than not. And on the whole bill, including tax.

Now though, if the tip is that much more valuable, I’m debating starting at 15%. I’d have to bring cash though, which I’d wager the server would fancy more.

Just food for thought. Not sure I could actually lower it in the moment, but it’s a thought provoking concept.
