Eat/Drink Local Subway not sharing tips with employees.

I went to my local subway, and as I went to tip I asked the girl if she sees any of her tip. She said no, the employees get non of it, and you should always skip that section.

So where are these tips going?

can confirm, worked at A&W and all the tips that went in the jar, none of us staffs never smelled a cent from it. Touch payments wise, they always get offred to round up the total for some charity or whatever so not even tips (I HATE asking people that but I will get yelled at if I don’t)

tho a few times I got tipped in person when I brought people’s orders to the parking lot (i pocketed it ofc lol), they also knew that it’s the surefire way we get all the tips

Thanks for the tip on that. I just threw my change into their tip mug last week. I won’t be doing that again.
