I have worked in very reputable places and none of that tip would reach the cooks. If we were lucky they would pay us a beer at the club later. I think it's regional though. I know in Quebec waiters won't share because the government assume they get 15% tip from everything bill and taxes them accordingly.

Doesn't sound very reputable. Sounds like a Buffalo Wild Wings.

I've been in the restaurant industry for over 15 years and the least I ever had to tip out to the kitchen was 2.5%. Never, did they not get tipped out.

Also, I'm not complaining, I love the back of house, but don't spread bullshit cause you had a bad go

I have worked at a Michelin one star and a two star and neither tipped the kitchen.

Your experiences sound great but they are not the norm that I experienced.
