I recently quit working at a catering company for a variety of reasons, but one of the main ones is that they were obviously stealing tips. There is a 20 percent service change in all invoices. The owner and office manager were in the tips pool. The office manager boasted to me that they hire sorority girls because they “don’t know anything so we don’t have to give them tips.”
I also quit because the kitchen manager constantly told racist jokes, micromanaged everyone, and was a general asshole.
I already have a new job, but I keep thinking I should report them. The food industry is rotten and I’m so sick of people getting away with exploiting their staff.
Should I report them or just drop it and move on?
Edit: I’m in the US. The tips were not being distributed at all to kitchen staff for a long time, and then jumped up when I threatened to quit. One of my coworkers told me he worked there for several months before he even realized he was supposed to get tips.
