I do however tip with cash and forgo some points. I believe it’s better for the server.

Without incurring extra charges, I almost always go for the points. It really pays.

Also about the tip.
Isn't it better to leave cash then add it to you charge card for tax purposes.
If you mean that the server could under-report income because of the lack of a paper trail, then yes, the server could pay less income tax.
