I was under the impression that generally (maybe this is a UK thing?) credit card tips get pooled and shared out between staff, whereas cash tips, although they sometimes get pooled, are more likely to go straight to the person you give it to.

Either way, it's not really relevant to this story..

I worked in a kitchen for almost a year (in the UK). CC card tips appeared on my weekly payslip. Cash tips never got split with kitchen staff.

That's a real shame.

The client's impression of the wait staff is greatly influenced by the kitchen staff. That's why we would split our tips.
