Starbucks has any right to have their pay structure the way they want it. Does the shift manager stock up for the employees? Who knows.

As a bartender, I got tips from waitresses that I served drinks right quick. They just thought, and rightly so, a little grease to the bartender made make more money overall.

At the restaurant I cooked at in college, the boss made the waiters and waitresses split their tips with the cooks, bartenders and dishpigs. I’m sure tips were withheld, but it was worth a couple of beers after the shift, and made us more loyal to the martinette boss.

Starbucks has any right to have their pay structure the way they want it.

Yes, as long as the distribution is legal and not illicitly confiscatory.  No reason to read beyond this point.
