Hello, So I have been working at this coffee shop since it opened in February. I was told I would make 8.00 an hour and the tips work out to be about an extra dollar an hour. He pulls them all together for the whole week and then splits it that way. We dont get them the day of. But it seems that I am really getting short changed. One day when I was working I saw there was about 14 dollars in the tip basket. That's not including probably around another 15 dollars that we got in credit card tips. That day another worker was there with me and the manager. He worked until about 4. I worked a 6 hour shift. Then the next day I worked a 7 hour shift. When I get to pick up my tips..(which I have to ask for several times because he never offers them or always has an excuse that they aren't ready)
I got like 4.75 for that time. How is this even possible?
It makes me really frustrated. I believe he is taking the rest of the money for himself but how do I approach him about this? Is there a proper way to split tips and how do I resolve this? Id rather not quit because I really love it.
