Me and one other person have been assigned to work out of a specific tent every shift at a Halloween event. Sometimes people tip us on square from card transactions and Apple Pay.
Our employer says we can't receive tips and that the tips “don't go anywhere” or to anyone . I find this hard to believe. Does anyone know if that's possible or are they just taking our tips?
I'm on terminal 3 every shift and she's on terminal 2 and we have our own sign in passcodes. So it would be easy for them to see who's getting tipped from what location of the event.
I want to bring it up since its definitely illegal in California to do that but I don't want to make a big deal of it if the tips are actually “going nowhere”
