The Eighth Commandment: You shall not steal. But one Reddit user and barista thinks that their coffee shop employer is violating the age-old rule by allegedly not paying out credit card tips.
“We don’t get paid our credit card tips,” wrote Reddit user LaLaLatte (latte_jk) in a post, which has since been deleted, to the r/antiwork sub. In the post, they described the tip theft and context in which she claims it occurred.
This post has been deleted, but comments are still viewable.
Essentially, LaLa says they left their remote management job to work as a barista at their mother-in-law’s coffee shop. They entered the position believing it would come along with managerial duties and a salary to match. However, their current salary is $40,000 per year, which doesn’t fully match their previous salary. On top of this, LaLa feels they have no managerial duties, such as staffing, ordering, or pay roll.
To make matters worse, LaLa and other part-time workers initially only received cash tips. After the employees raised issue with this system, the mother-in-law allegedly explained that card tips would be used to help pay their wage and avoid double taxation. LaLa felt their mother-in-law was dismissive of their concerns regarding the matter. LaLa believes not paying out tips is legally wage theft.
