Popular all you can eat buffet steals 3,000 dollars from employees
I started working at a certain establishment as a busser in August of 2025. I was getting paid 10 an hour plus tips. Every payday (biweekly pay check) I was getting my tips on time however sometime starting in October we stopped getting our tip money. This lasted until February. Around late January we were told we would finally be given our tips! I was super excited considering the total amount of tips I had accumulated to was exactly 709 dollars. I had asked the manager if I could get the money on February 4th considering it would be my birthday and he agreed. On February 1st the manager had stolen everyone’s tips. He left a note on the counter near the register saying “I’m sorry” along with the keys to the building. The owner of the store was aware of this and did nothing. He said the money is considered “lost” and we aren’t getting it. I’m only speaking up about this now since I got silently fired from this job. The new manager slowly took me off the schedule due to high labor hours and to how slow it was at my location. Last week I only worked about 10 hours, and now this week I’m entirely off the schedule. At this point in time I’m no longer a busser, but a shift lead. We are required to work weekends. I truly hate this company with my entire being.
There is so much more to the story but honestly I’m not sure if anyone is gonna read this so I’m leaving things out. Also I’m not a strong writer so I’m sorry for any typos, grammatical errors, or anything in general.
