I work at a buffet and get to keep all of my tips, but I am starting a new, (2nd), job on Tuesday night and we have to tip out to the bartender. I've never had to do this before and don't mind doing it as long as my drinks are made correctly and quick. The problem is......How much is fair. I was asking around at my other job to waitstaff that had to do it in the past and have gotten several different answers. I've heard.....2%, which doesn't seem fair, 15% of my tips, 10% of my total sales. I asked my new boss and she says it is to my own discresion........so any ideas?
Not sure if it matters but I live in Texas. One person I asked lived in Cali & worked in a casino before and the other lived in New Orleans, and worked in fine dining, not sure if that makes a difference. This is a " little restaurant/pub on the Marina with boat docks.
