[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was never a server/waitress. DS is working as a server this summer while home from college.

DS came home from work a bit ago upset. Two coworkers called off so he was working solo from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm. The owner/manager let him know that he'd called help in, but the soonest someone could get there was 1 pm. So DS handled it, including an unplanned corporate lunch of 12. That particular check left him quite a sizeable tip because he did so well running the register, taking orders, and delivering food & drinks solo. That table came in at 12:10 pm and cashed out at 1:17 pm. The coworker that was supposed to show up at 1 clocked in at 1:32 pm. When the owner showed up at 2 and was reviewing the sales for the day, he told DS that his big tip still went into the tip pool. DS argued that wasn't fair because he worked solo until 1:30. Why should the coworker who came in (late) and after the big party left get to share in that tip or any of the tips he made while working before 1:30. The owner/manager told him tough, that's how it is with tip pool.

Is that correct? This is in VA.
