One interesting nuance I've heard: If you do choose to pay with cash, put a couple of bucks on the card too, or write "cash" on the tip line of the credit card receipt, to clarify that you're not stiffing the server.

I think that Mark is correct: It's not that simple any more. Also, there's an ethical issue at work there: Do I really want to enable a server to break the law?

As to whether i want to enable a server to break tax laws...i could care less. I have zero moral dilemma about leaving cash and the server pocketing it.
