We almost always tip with cash!
We learned on a trip about 3 summers ago that a tip paid on a credit card can result for the waiter/waitress due to card fee the business pays and passes on to the wait-staff. Some businesses not only make the wait-staff cover that fee, but may even take pay less keeping some of the tip for themselves for various reasons.
So, we usually pay about 20%...in CASH...if the service has been good. And, we'll pay a little extra when it's a place we frequent and know our waiter and our waiter knows us.
