Don't have any hidden cams
don't know how to hide them
How are you supposed to record and hide a camera
cameras aren't that small

lol sometimes you're about as smart as a 5 year old. Hidden cam is a very small cam that people can hide easily like in glasses and record other ppl without them noticing it. They do this on tons of TV shows..

You'll be more acknowledged if you just use a platinum card vs using cash

I just write the tip down in the credit card or leave it on the table if I'm paying cash. If there's a tip jar at a register I'll put it in there.

It's not a matter of confidence. I just think it's a little too self-serving to hand the tip to the waiter in person, especially if they're busy serving other people. The tip you're leaving is for them, not for you.

Besides, actions speak louder than words. Thanking someone for their great service and just leaving a dollar for a $15 meal is likely much less appreciated than a 20-25% tip that's quietly left on the table.
