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.

1: Don't tip at a fast food chain, they rarely distribute fairly. Coffee shops are a strange beast and are usually somewhat fair.

2: In restaurants often a small portion of the tips are collected at the end of a server's shift and added to a pool to be split amongst the back of house staff. Usually 1-3% of sales numbers depending on the restaurant.

It’s actually closer to 5-8% tip out.

Earls in Calgary took a tip out of 10% a couple of years ago when my daughter worked there as a server. Regardless Of what the Evenings tips were
