I waitress part time and was working this past Sunday night. We are always very busy the day before a holiday, so the night was a bit crazy. We have a manager who is still fairly new and he was working that night. He is young, laid back, and really isn't the greatest at doing his job. Toward the end of the night I saw him bringing out a bottle of vodka for a table of people. I didn't think much of it until I found out after that he had taken that table, rang everything in, and kept the tip for himself. ( a LARGE tip ) I was irate. He was bragging about the tip, too and when I asked him why he did not have me take the table he said to me, (half jokingly) stop being greedy! Then he made some remark about how little he made after taxes.
I was so angry last night and so were the other girls I was working with. He is a manager... NOT a server and he most definitely should not be allowed to take our tables. He gets paid hourly, we make almost all of our money from our tips. He should have came up to me and told me to take care of that table, I have done bottle service plenty of times before, it's not like I am unfamilair with it.
I want to go to the GM and tell him what happened. Do I have a right to be upset? I feel as though I definitely do. How should I bring it up with the GM? I definitely want to do it in person and not over the phone. I was planning on going in this Wednesday to speak with him.
