You get a weekly paycheck with your tips. I have worked in three retaurants that "tip pool" and you have to turn in all cash tips too. You get a weekly paycheck with your tips.

First of all, hosts and bussers get paid hourly, some way over minimum wage. Second of all, the cooks get paid a decent amount OR salary. As for the bartender, they do deserve some cut of the deal but they make their own tips too and might I add, much better tips than servers. Servers dont just "take the order and drop the food down" but they're also mediators, they have to put up with bitchy people, in a lot of cases they clean up the mess, vacuum/mop and perform a TON of other sidework tasks. I know this because I work my ASS off as a server with 12 hour shifts and shitty wages to work through college. So don't you dare say that we don't work and that other people do our job for us.

They have to pay on everybodyies tips. There is a set amount. So always give 15%. at least. Hopefully a Dem Congress and President can change this outrage for hard working folks. Vote Obama/Biden Wait folks get screwed by the IRS also. They have to pay on everybodyies tips. There is a set amount. So always give 15%. at least.

Vote Obama/Biden

Perhaps one where YOU do all the work, cleanup, customer service, cooking, etc. Good luck to ya'.
