I work at a cafe as a baker, I have been there for a year. I don't have a lot of contact with the other staff since my work area is downstairs and I am the only baker. It has come to my attention that there is a tipshare pool for the kitchen staff that I was never told about and I have never seen any tips from. This cafe does a lot of business in the summer and I was working 12-16 hours a day producing baked goods and they all sold very well.
Does anyone know if there is some legal reason that I could just be arbitrarily excluded from the tipshare right out of the gate? This is in Minnesota. Thanks
