Workers’ advocacy groups have continually warned that Trump-era regulations would make it easier for owners to use their employees and customers to cover payrolls.
Such regulations include “nontraditional” tipping pools that mean servers have to share their tips with employees who don’t normally receive them, like line cooks or dishwashers. But critics claim it’s setting a green line for stealing workers’ wages.
This viral TikTok video from alexservestea has shed some light on what happens when this system is put into practice. The author shared a screenshot of an actual tip distribution breakdown sheet sent by an unnamed server at Chili’s. Turns out, a total of $1001.66 in sales generated $61.01 in credit card tips, but according to the screenshot, the server only got to keep a mere $0.91.
Let’s see this whole incident, which for too many workers is now sadly a grim reality, in full right below. And if you’ve experienced something like this at work, be sure to share it in the comments.

Alex has also received messages from people who were in the negative at the end of the shift which meant they had to pay from their own pocket
