Oh my! Those tax free tips for the food service industry? [View all]

It will only happens when it is a cash tip! If the patrons tip on a credit card? Then the tip is taxed!

Just another beat of screwing the people who serve the public on a daily basis! Most people don’t tip in cash anymore.

I try to give a cash tip, I will definitely tip with cash! Screw Trump and I’ll advise tax plan!
