Receipt with tip?
I usually write it on the itemized receipt and upload that. I always pay it via CC, so I have that receipt for backup just in case.
I've never had a problem getting paid. The only exception is one company that is a stickler for not reimbursing tips over 15%.

There is one MSC or client, I know, that wants the serial numbers of the bills "we" tip with. So don't get you serial numbered bill mixed.
If you paid the tip in thosed numbered bills, then those bills should either be in the till, the tip register or the employee's pocket.

I pay with CC also, but I tip 15% before tax and have had it come back that I didnt give 15%. I explained that I dont tip on the tax as per "Dear Abby". Didnt heard back from them and got paid.
I have never ever seen a request for a serial number of the dollar bills. The report would have to be in pretty quick to do it much good. If a restaurant deposits every night if would be mute point.

Although you have never seen the request, does not mean the client did not make the request. The client requested pictures of the serial number of the bills, used for tip(s) be included with the shop.
It was discussed in a recent forum post discussion i.e, "Valet shops."
I am going to made a quick judgment here===>somewhere between a customer or shopper making a purchase and paying, the bills of eruptions were not accounted for. Did we tip or not? The client knows when he is MS. It is no secret to him. The client can hold on to nightly deposits, if he needs to. Especially he feels someone is stealing. We are only talking about TIPS. That money is already separated from the days till.
If you tip in cash, you usually don't have a receipt. So a picture of the bills, with serial numbers, could be your receipt, for the bills in the pocket or the bills in the till.
We just do the MS, we don't make the requirements.

I have never been a server or a valet employee. If you receive a tip you need to account for it but do you not then take that tip money home? Or do you turn it in to the establishment and they turn around and reimburse you that same amount?
That is where I think the picture of our bills to them is a mute point. I would also think rare is the business that does not make a nightly deposit of the cash.
As for the valet shops none I have seen have included that requirement.
As for the tip in cash to prove to the establishment that you did tip seems a bit lame for the rule by them.

Maybe the MSC is using Where's George to track the bills.

This MSC that I am referring to is also the client that wants the shopper to place a $5 bill in an obvious place,(in your car --->ashtray or visor) with the corner of the bill sticking out. You must record the serial number of the bill. If it is gone when you returned to your car, you are to IMMEDIATELY called the 1 800 number.
Is he tracking George so he can look for thieves on his payroll????????????
I do, what the requirements wants.

I have seen these and I don't do them. To me, a straight-forward mystery shop is fine. It is a usable management tool and it covers the basic requirements of the job and gives an employee a chance to shine ..... or not, as the case may be. I've seen a number of "entrapment" type shops in recent years. They are designed to see if employees are stealing and can result in termination of the employee (which might require that I have to testify if the employee sues the company). I don't necessarily think they are terrible but the company would have to pay me a lot more to make me willing to do them. A regular mystery shopping fee is not enough.
The mall kiosk that requires a purchase of less than $20 be made by credit card. Then after the transaction is over, the customer is to grab an identical item, say they want a second and "don't have time" and throw a $20 bill at the employee and run with the item. If they accept the $20 and let you leave with the item, you call the company immediately.
Or the thrift shop donation shop: drive up and donate an item or a bag of items. Look for something in the intake area that has not been moved inside yet. Offer the attendant $20 cash for the item. If he takes the money and sells you the item, go down the street and call the company.
To each his own. Unless these paid a lot more and were far more clearly defined, I would not consider them.

wow...I might be new to MS, however I have been around the block a couple of times...seems to me that the whole discussion about entrapment is interesting, however if the person who is stealing is the manager who does the deposit, rather that the employee handling the cash, could we not be blaming the wrong person?
By the way, does anyone know what TIPS stands for? To insure prompt service! And it was paid PRIOR to the service being performed, as that was how the promptness was insured.

When a server is using the "server bank" system, he or she is a walking cash register. At the end of the night there is a printout of sales and what the server must pay to settle up the tab. (In a case like that, dine-and-dash can be heartbreaking because some places will not void the sale and the server has to pay for the meal.) With server banks, many servers will pay the tab with small bills, after keeping out a float for the next shift, and save the bigger bills to take home. Credit card tips will be counted against what the server owes. Some of the bills left on the tables will, therefore, be deposited and some will go home with servers.
If it's a system where customers pay at a common register, servers will be filling their pockets with tips to take home. Some will exchange for bigger bills and some will come home with the same bills that were left on the tables. Credit card tips will be given out as cash to the server in that case.

If it's a restaurant shop and they don't specify, I just send both. I may scan them together of if there is a place for two attachments, I'll add both. Nobody has complained.

I hand write the tip on my copy of the receipt or credit card voucher and scan that to send to the MSC. I do this whether I tip in cash or include it in the cc when I pay. When doing a bar eval, I almost always have to pay in cash, including the tip so I just add it to my copy of the receipt, if I am given one. The one time I did not get a receipt at a bar eval, I just reported it to the MSC, gave them my total including the tip and I was paid for the whole thing.
