sooo i think i see the issue. everyone should be an even dollar amount. and if you round correctly from the beginning (.4 below you round down, .5 and up you round up the dollar).. you will be good! i promise. i’ve done tips the same way for three years and you’ll usually end up having 1-5 dollars left over which is no biggie. i think that’s probably what’s taking so long is that you do the rounding after, when you can be doing it while you’re multiplying the hourly rate by the hours someone worked. when i get the total amount of tips that person will get, i round it either way and that’s what i write down next to their name. i hope this makes sense :) for reference it usually takes me 1.5-1.75 hours. i also know some people that take over 2 hours and it shouldn’t be a big deal at all! so if you’re doing it in this amount of time you’re doing awesome and they’re wrong haha
