| We usually do these, but they are about if you are a tipper, what %, etc. This thread is about should the waitress or waiter keep their tips, or should the tips be distributed? |

When I was a server, our restaurant only ever had two servers max on staff during a shift. So tips went like this:
45% me, 45% the other guy, 10% to the kitchen. If I worked the shift alone (small restaurant, always did lunches alone) it was 90% me, 10% kitchen. Regardless of who served which table, everything was thrown in together and split at the end of the night. Nobody cared because we were all making a lot of money and the 5 different servers usually busted ass equally. I had many instances where guests would ask if tips were split or not, and became upset/disappointed when they found out it was shared. Had people hand me cash directly once they heard they're shared, with a whisper of "keep this for you, it's for you" etc. |

So, you have an agreement with the other servers to split tips, but the customer doesn't want their tip split up... How is this usually handled? I'd quietly thank the customer, take the tip, and after they leave I'd toss it in the bucket to get split at the end of the night. |

My woman bartends at couple of our favorite bars when they ask her to. At one she ran the mon/tue/wed day shift and worked a sat. She always tipped out her cook and that was that. Since then the new manager at that one instituted tip pooling. This was a one bartender and one cook eight hour day shift at your typical bar. A friend of ours now does her old mon/tue/wed day shift and she drops about 500-600 bucks in tips for three days. She usually gets back about 250-350 of it. It's fucking bullshit when you work a shift by yourself with a cook and the six people on night shift gets your money.
ETA: My woman refuses to work for that bar now. |

Tip pooling, common in large casinos, results in players (who normally tip dealers) to not tip. They don't want to throw $ at a nice dealer for a big win knowing that the asshole dealer three tables away will get a cut. I vote commie bullshit. 
Do they ever tip you when the house takes you hard? |
