Drove them crazy. Nobody ever went to the manager to complain i throw their tip in the garbage--made me feel great

I like your style

In most places, does the cash tip go right to the server, or into a pool and they split it at the end of the night?

I try to carry cash for tips especially if they give great service. That allows them to have some control of their tips.

If we receive great customer service, we reward our server with a 30% CASH tip so that he/she gets it right away.

This is coming from pure ignorance since I've never worked at a restaurant, but aren't the servers given their tips at the time the credit card is charged?

There have been cases in the news recently of owners (Batali and Bastianich, for example) skimming tips, but I never thought about how the process works for the servers. Thanks for the "tip!" I'll keep it in mind going forward.

For whatever it is worth - was there last week for an LSV.

Stopped in Codys one evening and had a very nice time.

Very friendly and efficient waitress and a good burger.

Just my opinion !

Each restaurant has it's own policy on tips. Some servers
even have to tip out the bar staff. Many restaurants will
only give out the tips on credit card purchases one time per month.

This is why we always tip in cash for the server. Believe me,
they are very appreciative and will remember you the next time
you visit the restaurant.

I assume if you are talking about past & present employees you used to work there.
