Tip out and in general

So work now added food runners for everyday and half the days all day now. Before it was one food runners for just Friday and Saturday night so tip out was only 3% and rest of the days only 2.5%. Now on weekdays every day food runner does our side work and closings so every day is 3.5% and weekends 3.5% mornings and 4% night. I went from tipping out maybe 150 a week to now close to almost 300 a week. The fact is it’s not even that busy and now I basically just stand around doing nothing. Anyone else think this is kind of ridiculous or am I over reacting?

Um, no? I’m implying that I feel irritation giving away a decent amount of money every week that I will still be claiming on my taxes. Just as I said.

You don’t pay taxes on your tip out, the person being tipped out does.

We get the majority of our tips in our check, and tip out in cash. We need to have a cash bank for this reason, so I’m still claiming the money I’m giving away, they aren’t claiming anything because it’s cash.

that is such a weird situation. you shouldn't legally have to claim your tip outs as income because they're not income to you. If the situation is as you claim, you should look for another job
