Employee is fired for giving $5 tip to its rightful recipient, exposing deceitful manager's tip-stealing scheme: 'My whole heart just sank'

There's a lot to say about the culture of tipping. In the US, many people think it's gotten out of control. And in some ways, it has. We're being asked to tip for things we never used to tip for, and with prices already high it can feel like a burden. On the other hand, tipping is quite simply how service workers make their living in this country. And not tipping is not hurting the practice itself, it's hurting the workers, already under-appreciated and underpaid members of society. So until there are some federal-level changes happening, it's our duty to tip the appropriate amount, always. 

But what happens when those tips don't do where they're supposed to? Then we have an even bigger issue on our hands. That's what was exposed in one workplace when an employee tried to do the right thing and was fired for doing so. Read on for the details.
