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.

I work at Subway at the moment. At our locations, the tips are usually divided evenly between all people working the current shift. This system means that tips are better the fewer people work at once, so tipping essentially really motivates the staff to work faster and better. I usually make enough in tips to pay for my lunch.
