KC-area restaurant franchise changes tipping policy for staff

A restaurant franchise with locations on both sides of the state line has been in hot water on social media after news surfaced of a change to its tipping policy.

As a server this is wrong!!! That adds up and servers LIVE off their tips. I have lost ALL respect for twin peaks.

[@silversurfer427]

Typical corporate scumbags, screw the employees while management pays themselves big $$$ and bonus's...They should ban the use of credit cards if the costs are too high for them...I am sure the ATM they are installing will generate considerable fees that will go straight into the owners pockets...

[@masatosway4558]

Consumers can let the owners know how much they don't like this policy by not supporting the business.

[@alyssiacunningham16]

This happens at many restaurants, not just one.

[@gingerguzman2022]

That is wrong to do to servers. Period. Fellow consumers DO NOT LEAVE TIPS TO CREDIT CARDS MAKE SURE YOU TIP YOUR SERVERS CASH!

[@melissaflint144]

Right lol like ppl carry cash. Get a job that actually pays minimum.

[@usadaytrader]

This actually makes sense. The restaurant cant eat the cc fees for tips.

[@jasonmc1199]

Yes they can pay their costs of doing business

[@terif5198]

I can't believe servers at the Independence location are okay with this. Smh

[@jenniferarwinelucas6342]

Won’t be going there.

[@scarecrow_9895]

It not the whole bill, just the tip.

[@silversurfer427]

So that makes stealing part of the tip okay?!?

[@alwayswin8337]

Sp the company makes 338 mil a year and can't cover the fee for employees..I mean up the price of drinks by a penny

[@stephaniegoodman6887]

I always tip with cash. That way, it's up to the server. If they want to claim it on their taxes or not.

[@JanetChildOfGod]

Then the customer will be charged a fee if have to take money out of ATM....DUH......

[@merlindragon3172]

THEY ARE LYING! COMPANIES START ONE STEP THEN TURNS TO CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN.

[@user-tm9ld4xt3h]

Rip off that is exactly what it is. Fee already been paid.

[@lindatshappat4973]

Credit card machine costs is a cost of doing business. Next will they be taking toilet paper fees?

[@melissaflint144]

Lazy company. Pay your workers a decent wage of living and stop putting it off on the patron.

[@MrManDiller]

That's wage theft. It is the restaurant's responsibility to pay for business expenses. That should be deducted from the business's profits or possibly added to the customer's bill.

[@gingerguzman2022]

And start taking cash with you because if you use ATM NOT FROM YOUR BANK YOU WILL BE CHARGED DOUBLE ONE FOR NON USE OF BANK ATM AND TWO USING THEIR SERVICE ATM ESTABLISHMENTS.

[@candylane4703]

All of them should walk out!! Strippers make more and all cash!!

[@silversurfer427]

They are already the lowest paid hourly employees in the country, and now the slime owners are finding new ways to dump business costs on them...Guarantee you there is no profit sharing for the employees...Try running your restaurants with no wait staff and see how much your costs rise...

[@Falconlibrary]

This is a garbage policy by a greedy company, but I have always tipped in cash.

[@elle8hcim]

Old news!!

[@callmelafleur]

[@JanetChildOfGod]

How bout.......Dont go there

[@melissaflint144]

So..who wants to be a stripper? May be your thing but not most or mine.

[@JanetChildOfGod]

They should not dress like that inside of a restaurant

[@toebeans3985]

Sigh. Stay focused, Janet. 😂

[@rubbishrabble]

This is the uniform just look up the ad.

[@newtrollaccount384]

This is douchey but why should anyone care if they don't work there?

[@JanetChildOfGod]

Not good......STOP EATING THERE
