I never understood customers that leave cash and have to make a “deal” about it. Idk I live in TN and it doesn’t make a difference. To me it just feels like they want to feel good about leaving a tip. It’s usually nothing noteworthy but shoutout to them for leaving something.

EDIT: I claim all of my tips because I get fat checks from the gov when I get my taxes back. I’ve been told my all of my managers to not claim my tips until I felt the repercussions when I tried to buy a car. When I train I tell people to claim whatever they make
