I am a staff member at Woolworths Cafe.

We were consulted about giving 30% of our tips to kitchen staff. We said NO and did not agree. Now we are forced to sign, or we are told "there's the door".

Our customers tip US for our service. We have families and school fees to pay. If kitchen needs more pay, the company must pay them, not take from our tips.

They already deduct breakages, 4%, uniform (even when we don't get it), UIF, provident fund. Sometimes no staff meals, but deductions still go.

We are scared to speak at work. We have payslips as proof.

We want our 100% tips back and an investigation.
