It's is at the discretion of the company. And if they do they will find a way to share it back amongst all staff. It might not be in cash but in form of sth else

What are you saying? How can you demand tips? Police don't collect tips. They extort people. Police demanding money is extortion. You do not demand tips. Tips are given to you freely for rendering a good service. Demanding money is extortion and bribery. There is a BIG difference between that and tips.

Back in those days when man was still very young, I worked as a jollyman with a man whom we practised the same profession then. He got a job from a big Rtd. Airforce officer and after the finish of job on a Saturday, the retired force man came to check our work and gave me a huge money then. Immediately the man left, the man who collected the job was like that money is for your day job and I was dumbfounded.

Depends where you work. Some companies have policies regarding accepting tips, gifts from clients, customers.

If you work in healthcare: hospitals, clinics etc It’s frown upon in some places. Doctors, nurses and all health care workers are not supposed to receive gifts from patients or their relatives. Money gifts are not normally accepted. Cards, flowers, chocolates, biscuits or non alcoholic drinks are given not to individuals but to the staff desk/reception.

I want us to talk about employers and how they handle the tips given to their staffs. I was reading through a thread on front page that talked about dropping your phones before resuming work. In that thread I saw a comment that attracted my attention. The person said he/she works for GT plaza. He said it is a fast food. He said the company collects the tips given to staffs. I want us to talk about this.



Have you worked in a company where you are not allowed to accept tips?

Have you worked in a company where the company seize tips given to staffs and add it to their profit? (I think this is stealing and wickedness)

Let's talk about tips

When I was working as a waiter the hotel manager explained to us that any tip’s customer give you should be handover to the accountant at the end of the week all staff working in the hotel will share it equally which is a very nice idea.
He said it’s very bad when someone give you tips as a waiter or receptionist because of the service rendered to him/she you should also remember the cook, gateman, porter , room service etc contributed to make the customer happiness for him/she to give you tips .
Just because you are the only one that get close to me doesn’t mean others did not contribute which for me make sense. We all agreed to handover any tips and record it.
