Im having beers at bar ordered wings and tipped $2 everything the bartender brings me.
Beer = $6
tip for beer $2
wings = $20ish
Tip for wings from bartender = $2
Total tips = $4
==============================
Same order from waitress/er = $26
Tip = $5.20
Now I know this is micro example but extrapolate this over several drinks with food and the difference swings the other way. The question remains tho, am I tipping correctly?
Pretty sure the boss cant take tips legally speaking. Tax the income, let the business survive based on its ability to cover its costs.
If it is a service charge, they can take 100% of everything
Even if it is not taxed, they do tip shares which can be also illegal.
But government don’t give a fuck if owners fuck peasants
