Long time lurker and supporter of this sub/movement (usually from my main account, but using this one for security purposes). Anyway! I work in the service industry in a town highly driven by tourism, so of course the last few months of our “off season” have been a huge struggle for everyone, myself included. At this establishment, we all share tips; we split cash at the end of each shift and the rest is supposedly divided into our checks. Outside of this, we are paid an hourly rate, with a guaranteed minimum with tips. MINIMUM. We can make more of our tips add up to more, however, it seems that our tips (even during peak season) are just enough to meet the minimum rate and not a cent more. When my manager quit, he told the owners it was due to tip theft and the response was that tips were just a “bonus” we were not entitled to. Is this legal??
