I thought there was legislation to stop the business owners creaming the tips off. I suppose if there is, it can't easily be enforced.
My problem with tipping in cash is that your waiter sometimes seems to put it in his/her/their pocket, where I think that there are a few people who should have a bit, not least the person who microwaved your meal, and the sommelier of course. I'd like to think there is a fairer divvy up if it's on the card, but I'm probably deluded.
