Funds from Credit card transactions aren’t transferred immediately. When the server takes your card, they run the charge for the amount of the sale and get an authorization. Then, when you write a tip, they just go back in the system and modify the overall amount. Then at the end of the day, the terminals “settles” the whole day’s batch.
