I feel it took going to court to end the restriction.But either way, my point was that tipping $5 doesn’t mean that the intended recipient(s) receive the full amount in some places. The owners take that $5 tipped on a cc payment and reduces it by the cost of the processing fee (or the % of the amount) before it reaches the intended person. Other places don’t do that on cc tips. But if you give the person cash, the full amount is received, even if you pay the bill on a cc. The owner isn’t passing the cost to the customer up front, but is taking the fee (or portion there of) out of the tip on the back end.</blockquote>
