• A server working in a New York restaurant pulled in nearly $600 in tips with their colleague, which they felt was a good amount of money for a 10-hour shift. They had had to play multiple roles because they were understaffed. 

  However, their manager began to demand that this cash be shared with the kitchen staff because they had also been busy. The servers didn't think this was fair, as the kitchen was paid at least minimum wage, while they were paid well below. This was not the first instance where the boss had told them to share tips, either.
