I worked in a restaurant where they forced you to tip out 6.5 percent of your sales..which usually amounted to around 45% of your tips. After tip out and taxes, after making 100 dollars in tips..youre looking at about 30 dollars. It's crazy..companies are using tips to pay all their employees...the government wants to tax all your tips. So the minimum wage server is the one getting screwed from every way possible. I wouldnt be surprised if I was also getting taxed on the money I already tipped out to other employees. It's crazy..clown world.
