I worked at a restaurant when I was a teen, my first real job, and they ‘shared tips’.
Never again.....................
They are either really good ok, or really bad. They don't weed out the bad owners because national wants the footprint.
If you want to buy a minimum wage job, get a Subway franchise.
They kept all that and prolly donated some of it heavily to Hamas. And to their mosque. This is my bet.
Americans do not have the cojones to steal from employees like this. Though some were caught 2018 or so in NYC/ Such as that dude who was on TV Mario Batali. He’s been living in rural Michigan with his wife and loving it. Time for him to make a comeback and cook/ be Head Chef in the White House for Donald Trump.
I worked at a Dunkin’ Donuts full-service diner in the ‘60s while in college. Tips weren’t shared. I had big jars full of money. If I had to share tips, I’d be pissed.
That was my first introduction to socialism.
There were workers who didn’t do squat that got the same amount as me.
Needless to say, I didn’t stay around long.
I went to another restaurant.....................

One wonders what ethnicity the owner(s) of Jani, Keeyarah. and Kian Enterprises might have been. kya asa non ha?
Altering time sheets to avoid paying overtime, an old trick. In this case it amounts to theft, and the managers and owners involved should go to jail.
This is why I always leave my tip as cash on the table, even when paying by card.
why would anyone leave a tip when they order a Subway sandwich?
I usually ask if the restaurant employees pool their tips. If the answer is yes, I leave a cash tip, handed directly to the server.
“always leave my tip as cash on the table, even when paying by card”
Absolutely......I just make sure I write “cash” on the receipt tip line.....I’ve heard tell of some unscrupulous restaurant employees helping themselves to a tip of their choice if it’s otherwise left blank.
I always pay tips in cash.
Name names. It wasn’t Subway, it was a group of local franchise owners.
“That was my first introduction to socialism.”
LOL! I was going to say the exact same thing. If “sharing” tips isn’t socialism, I don’t know what is. Great waitresses get good tips and then have to give away some to the slackers.
“This is why I always leave my tip as cash on the table, even when paying by card.”
We used to, but have stepped it up. Now we put the cash in the hand of the waiter. We learned it’s very common for other waiters, and even patrons, to scoop up cash on the table.
Over the past 20 years I have never had a decent Subway sandwich. All have been stale bread with very little meat or veggies. Terribly expensive crap.
Maybe they were better years ago. Circa 1994 I used to only eat their meatball subs. They were above good. I never ate any of their Italian type subs with meat/cheese/lettuce/ tomato.
Pretty common for bartenders and wait staff to give part of their tips to kitchen staff, barbacks, etc. Having a well stocked bar and food coming out of the kitchen on time is a big reason customers leave a good tip.
