I work at a licensed store inside a grocery store that's pretty small - pretty much never more than two or three baristas at one time. During the pandemic I was helping out at short staffed store that was much larger. While working there I noticed that the employees there didn't get to keep their tips .. they were "donated" or something mysterious along those lines. And during the pandemic they got some damn good tips, like customers were handing out like $10s and $20s. According to the management the reason the baristas couldn't keep any of the tips was solely because it was "too difficult" to split tips between so many baristas coming and going throughout the day, and the only reason I could keep mine was because my licensed store was so small. But of course, larger stores keep their tips all the time? So I'm curious as to how it is done at corporate or larger licensed stores.
