Well, I sure as hell do NOT support the regulations change to allow the “redistribution of tips”. Any tip I give is meant for the person I am tipping and NOT for the dishwasher or the owner/manager!
managers should never get tips but th kitchen staff is difrent. this also should be a decision made by the owner of the buisness how tips were handled. when I was younger I did restraunt work and every restraunt handled the tips difrently. as a dish washer I got a small percentage of the tips at one place at another I got nothing.
A great dining experience becomes reality when all personnel work together. The waiter or waitress gets the tip but the credit goes to everyone from the chef to the busboy who do a great part of the work. My wife worked at quality restaurants and she didn’t mind sharing her tips because the staff could just as easily have ruined the experience. The manager doesn’t partake usually but he certainly oversees a smooth operation.
