Customer gives restaurant worker $5000 tip, manager demands they split it between every employee: 'Am I selfish to want to object?'

Should large tips always be something to share?

It is no secret that working in the hospitality industry can sometimes be a gruelling and thankless task. The mixture of unsociable hours and consistently annoying customers is enough to turn anybody into a misanthrope focused on little else than the money.

This is yet another source of stress for those working in restaurants, bars, and other professions, as almost all of them have to supplement their wages with tips. One bad night could mean that a bill is not getting paid on time, but on the contrary, you only need one generous customer to make those countless hours on your feet worth it.
