I was very upset tonight when the waitress told us they wouldn't allow them to accept tips on a credit card. Cash only. I found out later she was only a hostess and, thus, not categorized for receiving tips. I understand how this industry works. For wait staff tips make up the difference between their guaranteed wage ($2.13) and minimum wage ($7.25). This individual was most likely making a guarantee of minimum wage or more, and it was not within the constraints of management to allow more for her. If they are short on wait staff, I feel they should allow their hostesses to receive the gratuity regardless.
