A friend suggested I ask this here, so here I go.
I work for a retail store that has a print center, which I work at. I've taken tips before although I always feel bad getting tips because it's weird to me. Anywho, a month or two ago I was taken into the office at my store by a manager who apparently found out I had received tips. They told me that Loss Prevention could get involved and I could get written up for taking tips without telling the managers and that any and all tips have to be given to the managers and run through our Loss Prevention supervisor and only after that I "MAY" be able to keep it.
Since then I hadn't received a tip until this Monday. A customer was super thankful that I rushed a print job for her, and put in a lot of time into making it everything she needed/wanted. She left me a fifty dollar tip, and I told my manager. I still haven't heard anything about that tip, and no one seems to know what's going on when I ask. It's been over a week.
I'm just curious if it's even legal to take the tip away like this in the first place? My manager explained it as if all tips belong to the company, and it's not a guarantee I'll ever see it again.
If it matters I'm from New York.
