I recently became a barista trainer. My manager at my store when I signed said downfall is I don’t get tipped when training. I was ok with that until I went to a different store trained some newbies and they called me after saying when was I coming for tips I was confused so I asked I thought I didn’t they responded with I still do get tips. So gladly I went picked them up.
I was scheduled at my store to train someone and ended up not being able to train since the person was sick and had to postponed so my hours got rearranged and I was a partner on the floor. Well the week of tips I didn’t receive anything (even though I was not training I was a barista on floor and had worked extra hours most of those day) I asked my manager why I didn’t get tips honestly I was pretty upset by this and she said it was because I was scheduled as a trainer. I mentioned to her that I got tips at the other store and that two of my coworkers when training at our store everytime have gotten tips so how is it I didn’t or wouldn’t (future) when it seems others are. I’m training again this week to next and honestly I just want to know how to approach it with my manager who seems to say only I don’t get tips when others have every time.
