They don’t. Cash is taken by managers or shift lead and counted at the end of the night, is put in a big bag that says “TIPS” and is never seen again. supposed to go into “the tip pool” that doesn’t exist, instead of a pretend set hourly tip rate of “2.00 an hour” AKA not tip, it’s not even the tip average.

Current manager who isn’t supposed to be getting tips. I have receipts and pay stubs from working here that I am happy to share

Y’all please stop going here. Former employee who commented below but they no longer are even a bakery. The restaurant shut down over covid and they realized they didn’t need it for profit by forcing employees to continue to work underpaid over covid in the market and continue to steal and profit. They own a fucking store now, three entire buildings and want to continue expanding down the block for a hotel. In the entire time I worked there I never met the owners or was acknowledged for the employment position I held in the market. The employees suffer there so bad that is NOT A SMALL BUSINESS.

Former employee for about two months, they not only pocket tips they LIE about it and you have to catch them and confront them after, to which they have no excuse. I quit on the spot because I made the woman who lied to me about it pull up my paycheck and I asked her why it was short (they also consistently paid their female employees less, on my third day of TRAINING I closed by myself and TRAINED A NEWER EMPLOYEE who was a male being paid a dollar more per hour)
