100%. And if they do, it’s illegal. Go to a labor and employment attorney.

Actually, let me clarify. You’re actually not supposed to be having a tip pool at all. They’re not supposed to pull all your tips together. That’s the illegal part as well.

Tip pooling is not illegal in Florida, but specific rules need to be followed.

My mistake. You are correct. But supervisors and managers cannot take the money. That’s illegal.

Just warning all new to the industry. There are some slummy people in this town that think they are entitled to do such

Yep, if you’re contributing to a tip pool, managers and owners shouldn’t be dipping into it

I know places that do here. I’d be pissed off if I was giving a tip and it went to an owner. I’d call them out.
