We are on a 3 person play for awhile in the morning and we have drive thru, cafe, mobile and delivery.

I ran until my feet blistered, and finally tore. I am a shift. Working with other shifts. Guests were unforgiving about our predicament, but would look me in the eye, smile and drop a 20, 50, or $100 in the tip bucket... which all goes to the absentee green-bean baristas who show up for half their shifts and keep hiding in the back. Good times. High school kid shows up one day and grabs a weeks pay for me in tips while I work off the clock to try to keep from drowning. Unreal.

How do they only work half their shift and make an entire paychecks worth of tips for you.

If you are running shifts two baristas short all week, with the SM and another shift on the floor with you, then basically 3/4 of the coverage people are not getting tips. The SM is well taken care as a salaried position. Shift mgrs get a little more pay, work lots harder and don’t get tips. People tip when they see us busting our butts, and that pool of tip money goes to the baristas. Period. If they each worked 5 minutes a week they would still get every penny. It would just be like $10,000 an hour times 5 minutes.
