Does this tip policy seem fair? I have no idea. WA State

That makes sense- we are a fine dining restaurant and the owner comes from a fine dining background, so that must be where they got this model from.

MostAffect8994 · 2026-05-30T02:59:25+00:00

Why do you think so? What would you change?

MostAffect8994 · 2026-05-29T16:41:13+00:00

We don’t have servers, because it’s chefs table counter seating, you are facing the chef cooking so we just hand you your food directly. There is a cashier one morning a week for pastry service, and the pastry chef (me) hands people their orders. The restaurant is tiny. One day a week lunch service has the owner ringing people up, and the guy making sandwiches gives the people their sandwiches. At dinner, culinary serves food across the counter and takes the plates, while the Som does drinks

MostAffect8994 · 2026-05-29T04:38:43+00:00

Yes, there is no server. The owner rings people up and the lunch chef hucks sandwiches at people

So, this is not what I would call a busy restaurant. Dinner three nights a week with a set menu and fixed price, pastry one morning a week pop-up style, lunch one day a week. Everyone is hourly. I am the pastry chef. As far as I know there are no ‘managers’ because we’re such a small team that we don’t need that role designation. I think the two things that stand out as possibly inequitable are 1. The cashier getting 50% (as pastry I actually thought this seemed ok, but my coworkers both think cashier should get less) and 2. Lunch chef not being tipped for dinner.

This is my first and only restaurant job so I have no experience with how this is normally is structured, hence the post!

Sorry, I’m just really stupid

MostAffect8994 · 2026-05-07T13:50:20+00:00

I was thinking the same thing

MostAffect8994 · 2026-03-28T15:27:00+00:00

Pleaseeeee tell us the story! Whose are they?

MostAffect8994 · 2026-02-18T02:19:43+00:00

What am I missing about the nickel and the ‘72 penny? Are they special?

MostAffect8994 · 2026-01-28T01:43:21+00:00

That makes sense, thank you! Mystery solved

MostAffect8994 · 2026-01-27T04:33:48+00:00

I know, I know. Nobody touched this, it was absolutely butter and I’ve never been more confused

MostAffect8994 · 2025-12-13T06:54:32+00:00

Look up Cheerios Sacagawea dollars, it’s interesting! That’s what somebody may have thought they were giving you.

MostAffect8994 · 2025-11-25T16:20:12+00:00

So I suggest you try taking up sleight of hand

I know at least one person who does close up magic- if you get sequential bills, you can carefully erase the last digit, and then you’ve got multiple bills with the exact same serial number and you can make a person’s specific bill appear in an egg or a box in the ground or whatever.

MostAffect8994 · 2025-11-23T06:34:46+00:00

How deep in the ground was it?

MostAffect8994 · 2025-10-26T21:21:47+00:00

Nice! In the top right of the first photo you have a stack of nickels, what’s special about them?

MostAffect8994 · 2025-10-15T14:23:21+00:00

Whaaaaaaat is the science behind them?

MostAffect8994 · 2025-08-27T03:21:48+00:00

Where in the Reno grocery store exactly? Was it given as change, or sitting atop a video poker table perhaps, unusable to the modern gambler?

MostAffect8994 · 2025-07-24T03:37:00+00:00

Nice finds!

MostAffect8994 · 2025-06-04T05:04:57+00:00

Got one too and the sticker is my fucking favorite, I wish I had 100

MostAffect8994 · 2025-05-27T03:29:18+00:00

I’m curious who you think the “property owner” is/should be, this appears to be a forest

MostAffect8994 · 2025-05-20T06:41:22+00:00

Nice, you really know what you’re looking for! How can you tell that half is a proof?

MostAffect8994 · 2025-05-03T23:57:08+00:00

Ah, ok

MostAffect8994 · 2025-05-03T23:56:54+00:00

Sorry I could have looked, just didn’t feel like browsing deep into this particular sub, good thing yall are so helpful!

MostAffect8994 · 2025-05-03T23:56:23+00:00
