If shift supervisors are doing “much of the same work” as the bartenders, and are therefore worthy of some tippage, what are assistant managers doing?
Just to bring up a popular topic, what “standing” does the court have to dictate this?
When I did restaurant work, a significant amount of tips went straight into the servers pocket, to avoid skimming issues like this....
Well, thank heavens this has been decided. I’ve been without sleep for months awaiting the brilliance from the NY Supreme Court. Isn’t it great that we don’t have any important issues to decide upon. This is what I like to call a ‘first world’ court decision.
Ah, the NYState Court of Appeals doing the work that Americans can not or will not do.
Seems perfectly in line with liberal logic. If you apply the same reasoning that was applied in the Kelo case, the government is justified in taking money from one person and giving it to another who’s in a higher tax bracket so that they can collect more of it in taxes.
A State Supreme Court has to intervene and dictate how to divvy up the tips at Starbucks?
We’re DOOOOOOMED!!!!!
Nice to see that the courts are now making decisions on how private business should be run, all the way down to who gets the tips. Its hard to see where the madness will end.
I’m still trying to figure out why folks think anyone should tip for counter service. I never heard of this before Starbucks.
I don’t tip the guy at 7-11, nor do I tip the guy at the movie theatre.
I don’t tip the pharmacist either but if I was getting one of those little blue pills I might salute.
They discovered that the method it’s been done for at least 60 years that I have been involved in this industry, is correct..DUH!
The Starbucks people tried to steal tips from the low paid workers that are backbone of their huge profit model, to supplement underpaid management salaries, and they were caught.. Shameful.. /:
Tipping in self-service joints? What a concept!
I would quit on the spot!
How did this end up in court???
