No tips for the week for being a minute late? Sounds like they want malicious compliance

So the pub (in UK) I work at has recently had a manager tell us that being a single minute late once in a week will mean no tips for the week (not a crutch for the wage like in America but still a nice bonus/incentive) The manager didn't seem to respond well to me laughing at the idea being late by a minute once would justify no tips or that this would remove any incentive (imagine you're late by a minute on Monday, why would you try?) I was told that in an office setting you would be taken to disciplinary for being 'late'. Strangely there was an awkward silence upon being asked which company would actually discipline you for being one minute late once in a week. I was also told 'well the rota has you in at x time so you need to be in by then'.…

I was also told 'well the rota has you in at x time so you need to be in by then'. Strangely there was no mention of finishing when they expect us to wait after our shifted time if they're busy.

Oh also this manager is one who's been promised a pay rise for over a year now, she really needs to understand the company isn't her friend rather than try to suck up. Maybe she'll see this, likely not. If she does i imagine I'll get a bollocking but what a funny story it would be
