Sounds like those Americans aren't paying their fair share.

I have an honest question: what's the cash vs card tip ratio? 99.999% of the time I am not carrying cash and I don't see many (any?) people paying with cash ANYWHERE in the last 10+ years.
My business does not involve tips (exactly) but I can tell you that I’ve seen anywhere from 20-40% of money run through my system being in cash, depending on where I am in the country.

...So people often tend to be carrying cash still.

But today, who's getting tips in cash? Not many. Customers are paying for everything with credit cards or contactless, save for the occasional cash-only coffee shop or restaurant.

Every server who waits on me.
I make it a point to carry cash and tip the waitstaff in cash even if I pay the bill on my credit card.
1) Tips on credit cards are a "dark pattern" meant to increase the house rake of the credit card handling companies.
2) Tips on credit cards are controlled by the owner and often never make it to the waitstaff.
I can short circuit this by giving my servers tips in cash.

I should have specified that I live in the east-coast United States. Tap-to-pay is almost as common as someone writing you a paper check or an IOU, out here.
Some interesting points: ~40% of tipped workers don't make enough to get taxed anyway, no tax on tips would actually advantage better paid workers like casino dealers who don't need the help. NToT is described as a campaign to distract from minimum wage increase initiatives.
That’s a weird way to say a sizable majority of tipped workers do pay taxes and will benefit from this.

I just don't trust management of places not to take a cut if it's done digitally.
