Original post: At my job (I’m a barista at a coffee shop), we pull our tips from the cash register every shift change and disperse them throughout all of the baristas on the floor. Today, there was an issue with pulling the tips and the drawer ended up being short. My manager asked myself and three other baristas for a portion of our tips back the make up for it. I wanted to ask to see if I actually had to do that or if I could say no. This is in Texas btw
Two days ago, I told them that I didn’t feel comfortable putting my own money into the till to make up for the less than $50 difference, as there was too much room for error with everything being strictly on paper, and with me receiving all of the tips I was supposed to receive that shift (meaning I was not overpaid). Today, at the end of my shift, I was fired lol
