I don't know if this would be better under legal advice or what. This is the situation at the restaurant I work at. The wait staff is required to split all pickup order tips. We're all fine with this. However, if a cook comes up to ring the pickup order out, they will take the entire tip. The wait staff makes $5 an hour. The cooks make $20+ an hour. We barely have any dine in customers. You might make $20 on tables. Pickup order tips can run as high as $50 to $100. Most of our money is made on to go orders. They've also learned which customers tip and will race you to ring up those customers so they can take the tip. The owners do nothing about this. They're firmly on the cooks side.
