Agreed. They’ll just try to sweep it under the rug as fake and pretend it didn’t happen after the backlash lol.
Pizza place charging servers for tips

Me also. I do remember a thread here stating that cash is dead and know one should be carrying cash now days.
I would guess that most people under 65 don't carry much cash on them.
I'll jump for joy if we ever go to a cashless society.
Do taxes for a living and you will quickly find out who cheats on taxes the most.
I’m thinking it would be difficult for them to run their business without any wait staff. And I hope that’s what they’re soon facing.
Wow. It doesn't even make sense mathematically. The will be required to absorb 2% of all credit card fees/sales, and not 2% of all credit card charged tips? I would quit immediately.P's Pizza in Dakota Dunes is planning on taking employee tips to cover credit card costs. Seems like a good place to boycot.
You know, I might start doing this. I hate carrying cash but if they are going to not only whack me with fees but screw servers, perhaps this is what to do.
IM 56 and pay with cash almost always. I do charge gas though only because its all prepay pumps now
May be legal, but still a pretty shitty thing to do to your tipped employees.
"Credit Cards: Under the FLSA, when tips are charged on customers’ credit cards and the employer can show that it pays the credit card company a percentage on such sales as a fee for payment using a credit card, the employer may pay the employee the tip, less that percentage. For example, where a credit card company charges an employer 3 percent on all sales charged to its credit service, the employer may pay the tipped employee 97 percent of the tips without violating the FLSA.
However, the employer cannot reduce the amount of tips paid to the employee by any amount greater than the transactional fee charged by the credit card company, regardless of whether or not it takes a tip credit. Doing so would be a keeping violation under section 3(m)(2)(B). Additionally, this transactional fee may not reduce the employee’s wage below the required minimum wage, including the amount of any tip credit claimed. Under federal law, the amount due the employee must be paid no later than the regular pay day and may not be held while the employer is awaiting reimbursement from the credit card company. Note: Some states may have more protective laws regarding tips charged to credit cards which do not allow the employer to deduct credit card fees from employees’ tips."

I didn't say noone. I said most. Typically people use a card. I can't remember the last time I visited an ATM.
