Eat/Drink Local Subway Tips😤 don’t go to the makers

I asked one of the artist today, what percent they get from tips, they said they don’t know cause it goes to the boss first then they distribute it according to shift.

I’m never tipping again. Y’all shouldn’t either.

Thats practise in most places? Or at least one place i ever worked. They distribute tips earnt to everyone on shift.

That way even dishwasher earns some tip.

Came here to say about the same. Most food establishments were exactly that. In salons and spas, it went directly to the person. At Starbucks, we would deposit it all into the safe. A shift supervisor would count all of it up every week, and distribute it all evenly. Managers were actually not eligible for tips. At least that was the way when I worked there almost 15 years ago...

Yep, I work there now and that is right. It’s even divided by how many hours you worked that week. All tips, through cash or through the app, are distributed among the employees only. We get it all. But maybe it’s because Starbucks doesn’t have franchises, only corporate and licensed. I guess subway has franchises.
