Tipping has become a big practice for many different businesses. Tipping is the social practice where customers reward the workers for their hard work, and has become a staple in today’s society. Employees feel they deserve the reward of receiving a tip, especially with all the hard work they have to do and the difficult customers they have to deal with. 

The issue with tipping is that most places do not tip their workers fairly. In some places, cashiers and the people who directly help customers are the only ones who “earn” the tips. In other places, the tips are split fairly between every worker. 

Sometimes, the managers or shift supervisors will collect the cash tips the store gets at the end of every day. Then, they will put them all together over the span of a week. The tips will be distributed between employees at the end of that week based on how many hours they worked that week. This is the proper, fair way to do it. 

But this is not the way tips are always distributed in businesses. Other businesses take the tips and give them to the workers who helped the customers most. This is unfair because the other people who work hard do not receive any tips. 

For example, if you work in a restaurant and are a cook, you stay in the back and cook every meal that comes through. Then, when it is time to collect tips, you will not receive any because it all goes to the waitresses and hosts. All of your hard work goes unrecognized and without reward. It is instances like these that make tipping culture so unfair. Employees are not fairly rewarded for their hard work and oftentimes go unrecognized.

Therefore, it is important for businesses to reevaluated how their employees receive tips. Give your suggestion here. Businesses should change their tipping cultures to fairly distribute tips to everyone who does hard work and reward them for their effort.
