No. The tip gets split among waitstaff, porters, dishwashers, and oftentimes cooks. If cooks do not get tips, it's because they're being paid a guaranteed salary that's higher than the others.

I wonder what percentage of servers reports 100% of tips to be split. It would be easy enough to pocket a $5 here and there.

It depends on the restaurant's system. It's easier to hide cash tips depending on the place, however most systems automatically assume you got a certain cash % based off cash sales. In TX they expect you to get 12% and if it's less than that you need a manger swipe. Someone always trying to claim 5% or whatever is going to be denied and treated suspiciously. If you make way more cash tips than what was expected then yeah it's not that hard, however in my experience it's rarely that big of a deal. Like, maybe hiding $8-16 from the government on average. And credit tips are automatically reported at most places.

Kind of fucked up to only tip someone $7 when they barely make enough as is. A lot of wait staff are simply trying to pay their way through college. A few dollars wont come close to helping them. If you arent going to tip $20+ then go eat at McDonalds.

they have three options

accept my $7.00 tip
decline my $7.00 tip and give it back
they get $0.00 from me and will deal with it for the rest of their shift

You'd be surprised. I once had some dark chocolate coffee flavored tequila, 3 things I utterly despise, and it was surprisingly good.

This is an extremely big issue. Restaurant feuds have blown up because of servers stealing, under-reporting, or trying to fudge the numbers. Because of this, restaurant managers are typically very vigilant in tracking tips, etc. Everyone is eyeballing the fuck out of each other to make sure that nobody is trying to fuck with tips.

i used to be a bartender and occasional server to fill in people sick. I worked at a Brazilian steakhouse for like a month. I had to serve one night and this table felt like they got really bad service and complained. And they were Hispanic and so am I. So they were asking me to help them in Spanish. So I made sure, even though they werent my table, to help them.

at the end of the night, the dude gave me 150 buck tip and told the staff it only went to me and one else because they didnt care about his family. The managers cornered me for it and I said fuck no. Pocketed it and quit

wow, that's some story. How did they even know about the 150? Do most of you think this is wrong making servers split their tip with others?

a) Read the story again. The person who gave the tip announced to the entire restaurant that they were only giving it to the poster.
b) What he did was wrong in most cases -- refusing to put the tip back in the 'communal jar' is a fire-able offense in almost all restaurants. The idea is that everyone else has been splitting their tips to him for the entire time. So there might be days where the same could've happened to him, but he received the benefit of said tips without deserving it. I'm sure there are some extreme exceptions, but if this was sort of a 'last-straw' thing.

If someone gave me a receipt marked up like that i would give them zero dollars, then i would show it to their manager. If they just left the thing alone, theyd probably get more than 20%

I used to work for tips in the service industry. Hell, I was a delivery driver for awhile, which is even worse. I know what it's like, so I always tip generously.

But if someone did this to me I'd call their manager over and ream them both out, then refuse to pay for the meal. The amount of entitlement and disrespect here is abhorrent.

It sucks that in addition to tipping being stupid and that they should just be paid like an actual job, I'm in a situation where I don't have the highest paying of jobs either and trying to balance a masters in addition to nervously glancing at the student loans slowly approaching like the moon from Majora's Mask, so I unfortunately have to be selective on tipping and tip almost only for what I deem to be particularly excellent service.

With all that being said though, pulling a stunt like this would result in no tip even if I was in a better position.

Good thing it's a suggestion and in exchange for the reduced pressure on the situation your company will continue to draw business and find customers you feel like doing your job for.

Decent waiters aren't gonna do this. Entitled losers sure will.

Im fine with having more smaller restaurants and having waiters make good money as opposed to only big chains with employees taking home minimum wage. I used to be on the flipside, but it's really not the big deal people make it out to be. I made bank doing shitty work as a goofy looking dude. These waitresses are doing okay and they'd tell you that if you tried to change things.
