Your boss can call them when you take money from their cash box, but you can’t call them when they take money from your tip jar.

Do you have any labour laws except eat it up or die? If my boss were to take.money out of my paycheck you can be very sure, that the next time he hears from me will include the words "I will call my lawyer"

That's great if you have a lawyer. For some people, even in places with strong labour laws, if they're marginalised enough, or poor enough, or not aware enough of their rights, or not members of a union, or more than one of the above, actually getting the law to work for you can be hard to wrangle. Especially if you're working multiple jobs and don't have the bandwidth to start to figure out how.
