    Yeah but they are leaving it in place of actual money. IF you found a LEO who wanted to fuck the tippers day up it could probably be used as grounds for an arrest because its being used in place of money. Wether a charge would stick or not would entirely depend on the judge.

    Kind of like how walking around with tiny baggies full of baby powder is legal, selling them and claiming its coke isnt. If you try to pass something that looks like money off as money…

      Except a tip isn’t a contractual transaction, so there’s nothing illegal happening. They just left a clickbaity political flyer. There’s no difference between leaving this and leaving Chick Tracts, other than this one makes you double take before throwing it out.

      If they tried to pay for the meal with it, there’d be a legal problem since they’re trying to pass it off as money.

      I’m sure a LEO with a friendly judge could duck the tippers day up. But cops “don’t vote Democrat” (Jack Reacher quote), and they can in almost every jurisdiction, just pull you over and beat you up if they want to run your day.
