    Yes this is happening. Our tipping pool was increased from 4% to 6% just recently with that extra 2% going directly to back of house employees like cooks. Regardless of the tip we get we have to pay it.
    100% legal in California sadly.

    • @Slowly_succeeding says:

      Why sadly? Doesn’t the cook slaving over the hot grill also deserve extra money? Man I don’t miss the days of working in a kitchen in the dead of summer

    • @DBSWAGGINS says:

      ​@@Slowly_succeeding the server is making $2.13/hour. The cook is making at least $10.

      @@BJJMTF the funny thing is when that increases happened the “socialist supporters” at the restaurant were the biggest resisters, trying to “rally the troops” against it. True hypocrisy at its finest

    • @BillDaBurgerEater says:

      ​@@DBSWAGGINSNot true. The comment is regarding a server in CA. In CA, all servers get paid minimum wage at a minimum, that $16.50 in all of CA and up to $19.18 in certain cities, so, no, the server is not getting $2/hr plus tips.

    Tipping needs to go away. Pay people a wage.

    • @Cnotts says:

      So strongly disagree, paid my way through college on tips. Never could have made what I made on a wage at a restaurant. Most servers would quit too.

    • @Slowly_succeeding says:

      Funny thing is, every server complains yet will disagree with this proposition. They make more with tips than they would with a standard wage for their skill set 😂

    • @NChambernator says:

      @@Cnotts So what your saying is tips overpay servers. checks out. Thats why tips need to go away because when food prices at restaurants keep going up I inherently have to tip you more for the same service. Pouring me a glass of beer that costs $12 vs a soda takes no difference in skill yet you expect me to give you 10x more of a tip?

    • @Cnotts says:

      @NChambernator  what do you think would happen to food prices and quality of service if servers were paid hourly without tips. Restaurants often only make money during the lunch/dinner lunch. Less staff worse service, local restaurants would go out of business. Good servers make good money and would leave immediately with a hourly wage.
      The good news for you is there’s a very simple solution! Don’t go out to eat!

  • @SaltySons says:

    Why are we paying restaurants employees. The owners need to pay them

  • @pdxmusl1510 says:

    Id completely agree. I mean i think tipping should be seen as a lot more offensive than it is in the USA. And I pretty much don’t go out to restaurants because of this…. but that said… knowing this… it makes me want to dine out even less than I do.

    The rare times i do dine out.. Im now asking the server about this every time. And if they do this. I’m walking out. And where possible making it obviously known. I dont care how annoying i might be.

    I object to tipping. But transferring your tip to the other workers like this is inexcusable.

  • @Ocean_Native says:

    Servers’ pay without tips = unfair.
    Teachers’ pay = unfair.

    Students don’t tip their teachers though. It shouldn’t be on the consumer to make sure servers are being paid fairly. The restaurant industry needs to be held accountable and overhauled.

    • @Reynold_Chea says:

      Profit margins for the restaurant industry is incredibly small, allowing $3 an hour salary with tips keeps food costs affordable, even though takeout nowadays is already so expensive

  • @muhammadah6850 says:

    Scrap tips, increase wages.

    Tips are called “tips” you give it if you feel like it and it shouldn’t be an obligation

  • @streak2s says:

    Its the same with delivery drivers. If they dont get tipped, they pay cash out of pocket for gas and car expenses

    • @austinkulju3839 says:

      LOL that’s not how that works. They’re not getting paid $7/hr living off tips.

    • @winfieldk6692 says:

      Depends on what kind of delivery driver… I work for dominos, uber, and Uber eats (other jobs too of course). Dominos and most other pizza companies will pay you either per mile, or per delivery you take on top of your hourly. Uber doesn’t directly pay for mileage, but their pay is decent enough so that even if you don’t get tipped, you’ll still be in the green. Uber eats or doordash, if the customer didn’t tip, you’re basically working for free (in most cases)

      @@itscoleonyoutube other parts of the world do not tip because they don’t have a tipping culture. USA always tries to be different and tipping is no different.
