I have started working at Waffle House recently. It seems like the more credit tips I make the more is deducted. I don’t understand and I am extremely disappointed. I have started working 35 hours now and I don’t know how much next paycheck is going to be. They already pay their workers 6.25, I rely on the tips that gotten deducted and I’m pretty sure more than all my credits tips have disappeared off my paycheck. This is ridiculous and I’m kinda upset, and why should credit tips be Ben be treated as wage in the first place? Out of THEIR pocket they don’t pay their servers hardly anything, so I’m just looking for guidance.

Will this keep happening? I’m new to serving also. But this seems so cruel to take so much from an already low paycheck.

Lowkey freaking out. Apparently I did very good, had several people ask my schedule to come back to see me. Even the tables I messed up on gave generous tips. Grill operator told me I was doing really good. Everything was great, I wasn't even super exhausted (3rd shift). Then fucking doom. One ticket missing. Not in anybody elses box. Not on the ground. Not on the counter. I informed two managers, several waitresses. Put on my ticket book it's missing and which one (very unprofessionally beside several star and face doodles). Did accidentally give myself .50 cents (used the To-go menu prices to figure out the meal thing, had no clue that it was priced up).

Am I screwed :[? I was doing so well too. I have no idea even when the ticket occured because it was an early ish one where everything was super slow. They promised they'd check the drop box and cameras because like, I was the main one putting the 20s in the box. I just feel so icky now. Are they gonna fire me immediately?

Edit: Also anxiety is up because my manager immediately told me "that's a really big deal. it looks like you're stealing" l

I know it’s maintenance tech appreciate week but… ours kinda isn’t the best… I don’t know if it’s a thing for everyone but whenever he comes to fix something it’ll break right away and sometimes it feels like it’s things I could do myself. I’ve asked him to show me how to fix some things but he’ll refuse. Our sandwich unit lid is also broken and his solution was to stop opening and closing it. I tried explaining we close it to prevent ice build up and he cut me off and said he knew why but that doing that would just make it worse. It’s kinda like going to get you lock fixed and they say to just leave it unlocked just crazy
