This is another reason why it's always better to use a regular credit card at resturants, gas stations, on-line, etc.
Authorizations are often for more than the actual purchase amount ... for credit card users, this is typically not a problem, but for folks using debit cards, such authorizations can often lead to surprises like the card being overlimit, overdraft charges, etc.
In regards to wages ... as most know, the minimum wage has increased somewhat over the years, but what most don't know is that the minimum wage food servers get in many states has not!
So for example in PA, the mimimum wage is around $7 (don't know the exact number) and yet food servers are exempt and still only get about $2.35 per hpur... crazy!
It's no wonder that more and more places are automatically adding the tip on to all checks regardless of the party size.
