So not exactly “anti work” as such but I'm going over to the States next month from the UK. I've been lurking here long enough to know wait staff in the US are underpaid badly and management regularly take portions of their tips. My question is this: is there a way to make sure any server I have at a restaurant over there gets 100% I give, without potentially losing their job as a result? I do not want any part of my tips going to some middle manager that doesn't deserve it.
