To Tip or not to Tip, that is the question.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/may/30/pizza-express-waiting-staff-outraged-as-share-of-tips-is-cut

Front or house staff are annoyed they have to share tips.
Having previously worked in restaurants in the past; I fail to see why someone carrying the meal to the table expects or gets the tip & not the poor sod who's made the meal in 100+ degree heat in a dangerous kitchen.

I think 'ALL' staff should share the tips with the exception of management/supervisors.

It's all in how it's set up by the restuarant...as someone who has lived with many servers and bartenders...sometimes you're server is making 2.13 an hour and the guy back there on the line is making 16 to 18 or more...not all places...but some places...if they make the same split the tips...if not a division isn't unreasonable

@MrMonotone I can accept this. I think the tips should be for all staff. If a Chef is on a higher wage; they should get a cut in tips. But as I see it, the back house staff on minimum wage should share the tips equally with the front of house staff.
