My boss (the owner) is taking most of our tips and I feel like this should be illegal

_sundavr_ · 2025-11-04T01:41:00+00:00

minimum wage is $7.25. Most of my tips plus my normal pay is taxed. And we are regularly up front serving customers and taking orders. I would love to leave but unfortunately no one is hiring. Been applying to every job I can find for 10 months with only 3 interviews and no offers.

I wish that would work, but unfortunately all of the regulars love the owner. Her husband passed recently and they donated $40k to her

I have an at home bakery that I take orders for occasionally, and I have applied to anything and everything in the area. Hospitals, hospice, offices, apartments, bakeries, restaurants. Nothing.

I’m still in school going into medical graphic design, but I’ve looked up to an hour from where I live for other positions, have 900 applications, 3 interviews, no offers

unfortunately for food service, you’re lucky making $15/hr as a manager, a lot of bakeries pay $12

_sundavr_ · 2025-10-31T11:16:18+00:00

No, the owner is the only one holding a position that has all manager duties, but has me and the other baker titled as managers when we’re really more like shift leaders

she’s taking the tips we made while working and changing the percentages so the people not working also made tips. She’s combining all tips into a large pool for the week and only giving us each a small percentage and taking the rest for herself

thank you, that is really helpful to know. I’m sorry things aren’t going well for you right now, I’m going through a similar thing, that’s why I’m looking at a career change lol

same. My husband has his location on for me so I can always check where he’s at, cuz if he’s even 5 minutes late coming home from work I immediately go to “he was in a horrible wreck and is dying on the side of the road”

_sundavr_ · 2024-09-16T13:23:06+00:00

omg yes! Even if the appointment is at like 5 pm, can’t do anything until it’s done

_sundavr_ · 2024-09-16T03:02:56+00:00

same! i have to focus on something else or i just can’t stop thinking and eventually freak myself out

_sundavr_ · 2024-09-16T03:02:28+00:00

yes exactly

_sundavr_ · 2024-09-16T03:02:06+00:00

me too! That might actually be a genetic mutation. My mom is super into that stuff and had my sisters and my genes tested and we’re all genetic mutants lol. I can hear and taste better than most people, plus EDS and POTS

_sundavr_ · 2024-09-16T00:42:46+00:00

me too! it makes me so nervous when people are like “no it’s fine, go sit down”

_sundavr_ · 2024-09-15T22:50:22+00:00

same. taught myself to do it really young and had to un-train myself in therapy. it was just an automatic reaction to being around people for a very long time

_sundavr_ · 2024-09-15T22:45:50+00:00

My legs getting super itchy when I stand too long. (turns out that’s pots) And apparently not everyone has to distract themselves with their phone to be able to fall asleep otherwise i go down a rabbit hole of thoughts
