Let's talk about tip pooling. Does anyone else feel like they’re the only ones actually hustling while everyone else just coasts and cashes the same check? I’m curious to hear from other restaurant workers on this. Do you think tip pooling is fair, or does it just end up rewarding the people who do the absolute least?

What’s your experience been like with it?

Honestly, I feel this. Tip pooling sounds fair in theory, but in practice it can get frustrating when effort levels aren’t equal.
I’ve had shifts where a few people are constantly running and covering everything, while others kind of do the bare minimum but still walk away with the same split. That part can definitely feel off.
At the same time, I get why it exists, especially when teamwork is supposed to be the focus..but it only really works when everyone is actually pulling their weight. Otherwise it just feels unbalanced.
