How do restaurants charge your card for the tip if they already ran your card and gave it back to you before giving you the receipt you wrote the tip on?
In: 169
After your server collects the receipt the tip amount is entered into the computer and the check closed out with the final total sent to the bank. When the card is run it’s memo posted to the bank and once the check is closed out, the final amount is sent to the bank. It’s like when you enter your card to get gas and they check to make sure it’s a valid card.
