Found out our tip pool was shorting the dishwashers for 6 months

I was looking at the schedule spreadsheet last week and noticed the tip percentage split didn't add up. Did some math on a napkin and realized the dish pit guys were getting half of what the hostess was taking home. Brought it up to the manager and he said it was standard. Has anyone else caught their place doing shady stuff with the tip outs?

Or maybe they just agreed to a smaller cut.

My buddy runs a small bakery and the same thing happened to him... big influencer wanted way less upfront but asked for a cut of every sale instead. He agreed and it actually worked out way better because the influencer was motivated to actually push the product. It turned into a regular thing for them.
