Boy, do I miss Bob's Diner
[QUOTE=the_traveler]I was an IRS tax auditor for 7 years. (Please don't hold that against me!)

Yes, it is true that all charged tips are reported on the employee's W-2. But the IRS also has a formula of "what the average waiter/waitress should receive in tips". (The amount that is "average" is different at "Bob's Diner" in Kansas than it is at a 5-star restraurant in NYC.)

I had more 2 am chicken fried steaks than I can remember at Bob's Diner. What a place!
