Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

When I waited tables like 20 years ago, credit card tips were already around half of my tips. The places I worked, it was all tied into the computer, so when you cash out and it asks you how much you made in tips, the credit card tips were already filled in. I bet it's more like 95% cards now.
Totally anecdotal but gf is a server for breakfast/ lunch shifts at a local diner and it's about 50/50 for her still but it's also a population much more likely than average to actually have cash.
