    I’m wondering how American friends look at paying by card what you owe the restaurant while paying the tip in cash. Even though these slimy tip gadgets are invading Europe en masse, they’re still not nearly as ubiquitous as they are in the States. So my question is why isn’t it as common to saying you always tip 10% at the register and give the rest in cash so it goes to the server and not into the tip pool?
