That is why you should always tip in cash. Leave the ethics up to the waitstaff - but they'll typically keep the cash tips and not share them, or claim they only got "x" cash tips and kick in a percentage of what they claimed they got, instead of what they actually got.

When the tip is part of a credit/debit card charge, the employees don't receive the tip until the manager has divvied it up and gives it to them (or includes it in their paycheck a week later).
