This is sort of the funny part, not all servers are upstanding, income-declaring Citizens, oh sure, most would declare 'some' of their tips, or maybe they just keep bad records, who knows? Bartenders and Waitresses are not renowned for their fastidious bookkeeping.
But getting tip income that mysteriously slips through the cracks occasionally but more taxed and declared payroll income is likely to leave them in a worse financial position overall.
But what can you do right? The Government has to help low income earners earn more income!
