I don't care if the bill says Service Included, I am not sure that the money will reach the staff so I use the plastic for the reckoning and hand the waiter/waitress the tip in cash. But these days hardly anyone uses cash.
So come the cashless society, how are we going to tip without the cash to do so?

Assuming they work in an honest establishment, here's how it works.
You write the amount of the intended tip on the receipt, and the total is charged to your card. The food server keeps all the receipts for the night, and at the end of the shift, the manager compares the gross amount paid to the menu prices for the food ordered, and the food server is credited with the excess amount.

With your hat.
Or it could be a choice on the key/touch pad.

Catman assumes buskers will need to start accepting credit and debit cards.

When is the last time you actually used currency to pay for something? 3 days ago.

Just like we do now. When is the last time you actually used currency to pay for something? Today. In spite of having adequate plastic coverage, I love whipping out cash from time to time. Makes me feel human.

The same way they do now: you write in the gratuity or tap a button to add one.
Not too rough.

Just like we do now. When is the last time you actually used currency to pay for something? Seven Days Ago. FYI. Emergency response agencies tell people to have an emergency supply of cash on hand for major disasters. WHY? If a hurricane (or something else happens) comes through your area of the county and knocks out the power for several days... You won't be able to pay for essential supplies such as food... Electronic Credit Card/Debit Card readers won't work, without power! So, How will you pay for essential supplies, such as food... if you don't have cash? With Chickens? LOL!

In this case, credits will do fine.

According to a current article about 20 million Americans don't even have a bank account and have to pay everything with cheques or cash.

On the debit/credit machines in Canada, there is the option of choosing a tip. One can enter a dollar amount or a percentage of the bill.
If I'm picking up an order, I won't leave a tip.
When I get my hair cut, I usually work it backwards instead of choosing a percentage. If the service was $22.99, I'll do the math so that the amount I'm charged is even. In this case, I would likely put in a tip of $3.01 to make it $26.00.
I try to make it between 15% and 20%. When I used to go out to restaurants, I thought the norm was about 10% of the bill. It wasn't until years later that I found out the benchmark was 15% for good service and 20% for great service.
One of my friends at the restaurant where I used to frequent must have thought I was a cheapskate by only tipping 10%!
