adding that she splits tips with her manager and kitchen staff at the restaurant.

They don't even let her keep her entire tips. The whole situation is fucked. Somebody mentioned in the article also brought up a great point...

“Today, this is a Filipino woman behind a screen, controlling a POS system — but it’s not crazy to believe that probably in the next six to twelve months, this could be an AI avatar doing all the same things,” he said.

What a shitty future we have.

From the article, Sansan Chicken, Sansan Ramen, and Yaso Kitchen, all in NY. (Since nobody has said it yet)

Well yeah. When you eat at a restaurant, and tip, generally you’re not intending to tip the solely the cashier.

Before chanting along with the hate chant just think for a second. When’s the last time you tipped a cashier, with the intention of the tip going to the cashier and none of the rest of the staff?

I never intend for them to go to the manager.

Um...yes I do. If I enjoy the service of one particular waiter, I expect that the tip (at least the majority of it, let's say around 75-90% if not 100% of it) goes to the waiter who served me. If I'm tipping a cashier, I just give him a few bucks and tell him to pocket it discreetly.

That's right folks, this is why you don't tip cashiers or anyone else for that matter unless they get sub min wage rate.
