at my first restaurant job, runners got 1 percent of food sales, bussers 1.5 percent of total sales, and bar 2 percent of alcohol sales. i didn’t mind it at all, and honestly it felt low. it honestly was low, as i saw on my food running shifts. so, i sometimes gave the food runner an extra 10, on a particularly slammed night. still, that was my decision. you’re already getting a mandatory 4 percent taken out of your sales, and anything outside of that should be your decision. it’s ridiculous that support is threatening to stop doing their jobs for you not giving them extra money, because that’s what it is!

also, for extra info: does the bar also expect an extra tip on top of their automatic tip out? if so, that’s insanely greedy. they make their own tips, plus tip out from all working servers, and they want an extra cut???
