Skip, first of all thank you for your very reasonable and knowledgeable posts on this subject. I always "worry" a bit when I leave the cash for the bill plus the tip on the table instead of handing it to the waitress. I don't know if the bus boy or a passing diner will pick it up and pocket it. I always try to hand it to the waitress or waiter. I assume from your post that it does occasionally happen.
