How would I say "I'll tip you in cash" in Mandarin?
Hey guys,

Today I used an app to have some food delivered because my grandma was craving for some fried chicken and I didn't want to lose my parking spot. Anyway, the guy who showed up was Chinese and right before he was about to take off, I said to him, "唉，等一下，小费。"

Using the app, I had the option of tipping him using my card but I thought it'd be better to tip in cash. So, how would I say "I'll tip you in cash" in Mandarin? Is 给你现金小费 correct?

Thanks.
