Tipped workers understand that their living is essentially the tips they receive from customers. That's probably why they're complimenting your hair, your jacket, and the old, banged-up pair of shoes you've been wearing since five Easters ago. Hey, the game is the game. Don't hate the player, as they say.
Some restaurants and cafés continue the tip pooling system that most tip-forward establishments have abolished for an unknown reason. There are pros and cons to pooling tips, but most infamously, the staff who do nothing get the same payout as a dedicated worker who has been breaking their neck to make customers happy during any given shift. So, when a staff member pockets all of their tips and keeps them for herself instead of contributing to the tip pool, what do you do?
Commenters suggest that the employee take this up with their boss, but I think there's a better way to even the score… Shall I say? I think you're picking up what I'm putting down. Scroll below to read the full story and see why tip pooling is honestly one of the most illogical things on the planet.
