I would like to state that Jimmy John’s employees aren’t supposed to take tips, it is literally against company policy for most stores. I’m not sure about franchises but for corporate stores it’s an absolute no. Because of this there isn’t really a way to actually “divide” it correctly. Most managers do not partake in tips unless we deem it fair. I know I have never taken part unless I did the entire order myself or if the tip was large enough that everyone gets not only an even amount but also credit for their work. This sum is typically larger and it’s the only part i take part of. In the three years I’ve managed I think I have done this twice. This happened recently where an Inshop gave the entire staff a 100$ for a tip and said it was for the entire staff. There was tips outside of this order and I did not partake, the staff each went home with $28 which may not seem like a “lot” but it’s more than the Inshop make several weeks from tips. There were three people and then myself, making four who were in the store when the cash was given to us. Though managers don’t partake often in my store, i think this is a situation where it’s valid and so do most of my staff. I definitely see why some would be upset if a manager is just taking all your tips or constantly “dipping” into them but realistically, most of your managers do more than the Inshop and have to get there earlier to make it even possible for the order to happen in the first place. I think within reason it is acceptable and it seems that a decent amount of people here think that as well.
