tipping with a credit card

Clodfobble · 02-20-2006, 06:09 PM

There is no situation where one coworker should "pay" another directly. If tips are shared, they are collected by a boss/manager and then redistributed. Either the kitchen staff is trying to scam you into just giving them money, or the boss is scamming them by not actually giving them the 20% she is withholding from you. Either way, it isn't really possible for you to prove anything unless you have access to the bookkeeping, which I'm sure you don't. It's the kitchen staff's problem--if they're not getting paid, they should talk to the boss.

It might be customary at that resturant to share with the kitchen but this is your first month isn't it? It's possible, depending on the time frame, your boss took money for the kitchen from you and plans to give it to the on their next payday? I'm just guessing, here.

You could ask your boss why the kitchen is bitching about not getting their money, go to the boss with the kitchen help, or just tell them to see the boss.

Or take a shotgun to work and watch 'em sweat.
