cash tip

Bills for service

A cash tip is a gratuity given in physical currency rather than added to a credit card charge.

Service workers often prefer cash tips because they're received immediately and may go unreported for tax purposes: I always leave a cash tip for housekeeping.

The practice persists even as other transactions go digital.
