But at the restaurant in my posts, the server gets to keep all cash tips. Only the credit card tips are pooled, and employees (all of them) end up averaging $10/hour in their paychecks. That's why I think there's some pretty shady shenanigans going on with their manager or store owner.
It also explains the high turnover there.
