It's not "illegal". It MAY constitute a violation of the contractual agreement between the merchant and the credit card company, but even that is gray zone.

The bigger question: What did the server do to you that you would punish them for the owner's policy???? Complain to the owner or manager, don't stiff the server.

Plus, your strategy won't work unless you explicitly explain to the server WHY you reduced their tip, and i doubt many would want that confrontation.
