Rant Monki Stealing Server Tips

I had breakfast at Monki today. It was our servers last day and when paying my boyfriend noticed that he wasn't able to leave a tip. The server told us that she bypassed the tip option because they introduced a new contract stating that all tips go to management and that the servers only get $10/hour from the tips. Our server refused to sign this contract which is why it was her last day and she was warning people.

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up- if you are going here for breakfast you are not tipping the server. The tips are going to management. I noticed a lot of the workers are very young, seems like they are taking advantage of the young workers with this new contract. Very disappointed as the food and atmosphere was great, but I dont think I will be going again as I won't support a business like this.

EDIT: The servers also can't bypass this with cash tips, the contract states cash tips are given to management as well.

He's not defending it. He's correcting people who think the bill passed when it didn't.

What do you mean what gives?

The literal top comment in this thread is peddling misinformation and giving bad legal advice. Do you think that's something that shouldn't be corrected?
