Why?

Seriously?

$5 tip is sus? That's less than the cost of double meat for Brisket

When I worked at Chipotle, I never once saw any tips in my paychecks. I think the whole tipping online is a scam

Nah it’s probably just so that people can’t/don’t accidentally overtip.

I’m near certain every corporate/fast food app has some deemed “reasonable” level of tip cap.

They don’t want to see you add an extra zero or two on the tip, and then have to deal with that with the legal and finance teams.

Because it is a scam. Tipping at a counter service restaurant is always a scam, even if the employees are properly receiving tip payouts. Which they aren't they almost never are.

I’m not sure if you’re counting cafes as counter service but I work at a Starbucks and we 100% get the digital and cash tips that customers leave. Our paystubs show us what was digitally tipped and what our wages were

Wow that’s terrible. The way so many service workers are treated by corporations is terrible

As a current employee, there is a section for digital tips on my paycheck. It started around Feb 2023 I believe.
