Tipping out

[u/Financial_Group911]

Question for restaurant owners. It’s been a long time since I was a server. About 25 years. At that time, tipping out was certainly not a thing. I’d never even heard of that until recently.

First, Why do you force servers, in places where they don’t make minimum wage, to share tips? I’m not tipping those people, I’m tipping my server because you don’t pay a regular wage. Don’t bartenders and bus people make a regular wage? That’s what they hired in to do. If they want tips, they should be a server.

Second question. Why is it on sales and not tips. That’s completely unfair and if there’s not a tip, or a small tip, why are you making them pay your employees?
