This is why I advocate getting the waiter's venmo/squarecash and tipping them electronically.

This attacks the custom of tipping directly: It prevents the management from being able to use tips in their scheme to pay workers less, and absolves the customer of the requirement to hurt the worker if they want to fight against tipping culture.

I find the assumption that everyone uses such apps interesting. For my part, I just tip with cash. No need to bring a third party into any of this.

Except tips are generally pooled and shared with the busboys and the kitchen staff.
