Hookah Waitress Question
Hi neighbors.
I won’t name drop but there’s a lovely hookah bar/lounge/restaurant/sports bar I felt very lucky to have and comfortable with. I made good tips, made good friends, etc. It’s my second week.
I made nearly 800$ in tips last night especially during FIFA. At the end of my shift 8 hours later, I went to check out with the manager who’s only there 2 times a week but not a nice person towards me for some reason.
Well, he told me I have to tip the chefs, the charcoal guys (literally who just do the same hookah job I did as a 15 year old) and “the house”. The house??? Like a strip club would?
I not only waitress, I bartend, I do dishes, I am barista, I’m literally everything. And ultimately 70% of my tips (on a min. wage thankless job) were taken back from me last night. Even the cash that was gifted to be by regulars who love me.
I had change from a weed dispensary in my wallet from night prior, and they counted that as tips when it wasn’t. I got a harsh text in return last night saying not to come back today.
Is this normal or am I blowing things out of proportion?
Thanks guys.
