An Arkansas waitress says she was fired from her job after receiving a $4,400 tip.
Ryan Brandt and another waitress were serving a 44-person party at the Oven and Tap restaurant in Bentonville.
Afterwards, each guest left a $100 tip – for a total of $4,400 for the two servers.
But Brandt says the restaurant asked her to pool her tip money, which wasn’t restaurant policy – this would have left her with just 20%.
When she refused, the party requested a refund and gave Brandt the cash outside the restaurant. (The group had checked restaurant policy before booking to make sure the tip would go to their server and to a tip pool.)
Now Brandt says she was fired, allegedly for violating restaurant policy by telling guests about the tip-splitting.
