Red - wouldn't that be theft also? When Linda was a server they had to reconcile all electronic payments. In other words the hostess/manager would run the payment through and leave a copy of the receipt along with any tip in a section for her to pick up. Even if it was a 'no tip' the receipt would be there to indicate such.

I would think that the server would know what's coming if they collect the card or would at least ask to see all receipts for card paying customers if they pay at the cashier.
