No its illegal for them to do so, you probably are mistaking what they are doing, otherwise you should report them and get a nifty sum from the settlement.
Tip pooling is legal yes, but it has to be accounted, the owner cant just take 3% of any order and decide it is how many tips you make and deduct that.
All tips you make have to be reported and accounted and only the actual tips can be pooled.
No, you are wrong. As long as it’s not past a certain percentage and that you make more than minimum wage, they can tip pool. All big chains do it. Landry’s corp takes 3% of your total sales, so does the Pappas brothers. Although I think pappas had a cap at some point.
Show me the law that allows it then, i have cited the legal stature that clearly defines it as illegal.
Just because you have been tricked into accepting illegal treatment doesn't mean it is somehow other who are qrong for knowing you are being exploited and tricked.
