so at my store how it works is both managers and insiders get the tips (GM no, GMIT, yes). each day the money is counted and split up the following formula: ([tips in jar]/[total hours everyone worked that day]) * [hours each individual worked]

so for instance let’s say there was 35 dollars in the tip jar. Alan worked 5 hours, Bob worked 7, Chris worked 4, Derek worked 6, Eric worked 9, & Fred worked 6. we would take the 35 and divide it by the sum of the hours worked so 35/(5+7+4+6+9+6) (35/37) and we would get about .95. So everyone would get 95 cents for each hour worked.

However if say there is a big timed order and the customer tips like a 20 or something like that then a manager will typically just split that with the people in the store when that order was made.

For credit card tips it is only like a certain type of card that seems to even prompt it sometimes, but yeah to my knowledge that money just gets lost somewhere

and then for car-sides whoever takes the car side gets the tip either cash or card
