Bring Back Cash Tips
Summary
A restaurant worker has strong opinions about digital tipping culture. He wants to "bring back cash tips" and ditch the Toast point-of-sale system entirely. His reason? Uncle Sam sees those digital tips, and they get taxed. Cash-only keeps it off the books. Then he pivots to an even spicier take: pre-teens shouldn't be allowed to dine out without parents. He's tired of 14-year-olds who found restaurants on TikTok, don't tip, and camp out in bathrooms for hours while bleeding tables. Kareem's on board with the whole rant. It's a working-class frustration with modern restaurant economics.

So what's your take? Bring back cash tips? 100% agree. Stop this toast nonsense. All right, get it out of here. Tell—stop. Yeah, like I don't see that. It just doesn't even exist. It doesn't exist as a working-class citizen. I don't see that much, you know? Who sees it? Uncle Sam. I know because you get taxed on the tips. We get taxed on the tips. And that's why there is cash-only restaurants.
Yeah, and also this is another hot take: pre-teens shouldn't be allowed to find dine. If you're one of these parents that allow your child to find dine and they have a peanut allergy, best believe they come home with an EpiPen. How old are you? 14? Now get that TikTok R out of here, man. Well, I heard it on TikTok. They have really good shom.
I don't want to hear it. Get out. You're not going to tip me and you're going to be in the bathroom for four hours and I'm—you're bleeding my tables. Keep them out. Give me cash tips. Give them cash tips, cook. Let's go. Yeah, man, I like it. I'm 100% in. Hell yeah.
