My poor boyfriend is texting me from work right now (Olive Garden, where apparently there are no cameras), rightfully infuriated because he just spent hours serving a party of many people and the cash tip they left on the table was stolen by the busboy.
He said he knows for a fact who took it, confronted the kid only to be practically ignored, told a manager what happened and the manager keeps laughing it off and telling him “oh man well that sucks.”
It’s only one table and at the end of the day how much of a fuss can you really make without it seeming like you’re overreacting? But at the same time – how can you run a place of work like that and not expect it to happen consistently now that there has been no consequence? I’m so angry for him and I know he’s been working hard, those tips are practically his entire paycheck. Does anyone have advice on how to go about this situation?
