There's something about tipping cash that's more visible, physical and I can tip less by cash and still be somewhat acceptable. Credit though is quick - either a press of a button on a tablet or a quick tally, which racks up the bill.

credit is always post-tax too, because a number has been punched into the credit-terminal so it has no idea how much tax there was.
