I absolutely do know that. I've been a waitress. We were SUPPOSED to pool our tips. But if we were tipped cash, the boss had no way to know how much cash our customers gave us in tips. He wasn't allowed to reach into our pockets, or check our purses in the office. When we tipped out at the end of the night, I might've tossed in a fair chunk to the busboy and the cook. But if the cook screwed up several of my customers' orders, resulting in a lower tip than I could've expected, I might shave extra for myself and tossed less into the share pool.
The only people who knew how much cash I was tipped, were the customers who gave me cash.
