manager reduced shifts intentionally
I bartend events and paid decently hourly considering. Some shifts are solely bartending while some shifts involve bartending one well and bartending another well with a server. So bartender is working two wells. Server works with customers taking drink orders and preparing light finger food buffet style. Server is paid 60% more hourly + tips. Issues- server wants to split tips 50/50 from both wells, while they only work with the one well. Bartender makes 75%-80% of drinks for the shared well (server makes the remaining) and 100% for second well. How would you expect tip outs to be handled? 50/50 split with someone making 60% and hour more feels like giving my tips away. Refusing this new way of tipping out until speaking with a manager, has resulted in shifts being taken away.
I hate the feeling that people around me just don’t fucking care. All of these boxes are avalanching towards me but get upset I’m not moving super fast.

One day I see a conga line of smokers going out and decide I want to stretch my legs, socialize and get some fresh air. Do I smoke? Fuck no. Naturally the place is getting busier. This smug individual that works in upper management overhears my colleagues joking with me saying 'haha this guy doesn't even smoke, big IQ…
NOT A REPOST, but a continuation: For context, I(23F) mentioned previously that I was given a $125 giftcard for my holiday bonus. I was not originally supposed to receive it as I was still in my 90 period at the time, but the owner of the store approved it anyway as I worked the busiest nights. He did this for all the newhires scheduled on those nights as well. A week later, HR messaged me asking for the giftcard back as I was not originally supposed to receive it. By that time, I had already long-spent the money. I explained that the owner had us write our names down and that he personally approved us for the same bonus. The other newhires involved also confirmed this, yet HR claimed it was a “bonus discrepancy” and that it would need to be handled. About a week after, we (the newhires involved…
