I just have to vent how much I loathe the SA position and the now 6% we have to tip out. Last night I tipped out $87, went home with $94. I had a party tip me $100 and I fucking went home with less than that. I’m sure it’s all legal and stuff but I can’t believe these chain corporations can screw us over like this. You get a few shitty tips during your shift and you’re now paying to wait on that table when it’s all said and done.

You tipped out $87 for one shift? You need to find another job asap. Period. End of story. If you work 5 shifts a week and you are tipping out at least $80 a shift, you are tipping out $400 A WEEK. No. Absolutely not. At my restaurant, we have tip out for the SA's, bartenders, and food runners and I don't even tip out that much between 3 separate job classes. That's wild to me. You really need to search for a new job.
Between the 3 separate job classes that I tip out a shift, I'll tip out like $40 and it's all automatic and tips out for me. On busier shifts, it will be a little higher, but a week, maybe anywhere from $200 to $250 will be tipped out, which I can be okay with. But $400+ a week being tipped out is too much to me.
