Starbucks Licensee breaking labor laws?
I worked at this licensed Starbucks for about 6 months up until a few months ago, and it's just hit me that they were including Store Managers and Assistant Managers in end-of-day employee tip-outs. Isn't this illegal? Stupid of me not to realize but I hadn't worked with tips since I was a teenager and even then they were probably breaking the law. Do you think filing a complaint with the Dept of Labor would do anything?
Additionally, some money went "missing" and they instructed my partner who also worked there to gradually take from employee tips over time to build the drawer back up. Isn't this blatantly wage theft???
