The issue is that many are not trained/don't realize how to key it all in correctly in the accounting system. So it gets screwed up. A lot.

Since I started doing this, my servers have been happy AND I've had zero issue getting the tip covered by Hyatt.
I write INCLUDED in the space for the tip amount and then write "Globalist breakfast--please add the standard tip for this property. Thank you." on the receipt that I sign and leave on the table. This also seems to make it less likely that the breakfast will appear on my bill.
