Yankee Stadium waiters, who deliver beer and gourmet grub to the stadium's expensive seats, are crying foul saying that a 20 percent gratuity that patrons are charged for food delivery never makes it to their pockets. So naturally they are suing. According to the suit the menus at each seat say that "a 20% service charge will be added to the listed prices. Additional gratuity is at your discretion," but employees never see an extra dime. more ›

When we first reported on part-time delivery guy Larry Fox, he was gleefully outing bad tippers with impunity on his Tumblr, exposing all those jerks for whom tipping is "optional." The Post caught up with Fox this weekend, and although he was fired from his delivery job after they were threatened with a lawsuit by Delivery.com, Fox says that his website is booming: "I get about 100 submissions a day…I don't have time to go through all of them. I'm thinking about hiring an intern." That's right diners: tip, or else you'll create another blogger! more ›

Watch out everyone, because according to the Post, tip jar madness is taking over the city! That's right, many workers have the audacity to passively ask for tips by putting out a jar, often emblazoned with offensive sayings like "Tipping isn't a city in China," or "We need money for college!" Many New Yorkers just won't stand for this type of behavior; one woman at Citi Field said, "I laugh to myself that those workers think that people are actually going to put money in it." more ›

A former cocktail waitress at exclusive nightclub 1OAK is filing a class-action suit against the establishment today, claiming she was screwed out of tips along with other workers. Tarale Wulff, 33, says 1OAK tacks a 20 percent "service charge" onto their $450-and-up bottle service, misleading patrons into thinking they were "gratuities paid to the service workers." Instead, "a percentage [is] distributed to nonservice employees, such as doormen," according to court papers obtained by the Post. Wulff, who was fired last month after a dispute involving a customer's expired credit card, is suing for unspecified damages. Two years ago 1OAK was sued by four former employees, all minorities, who claimed club owner Scott Sartiano only wanted "white girls he could f---" serving drinks. more ›

When restaurants charge larger parties an automatic service fee – usually 20% – it’s generally understood that the money goes to the servers as a gratuity. But some restaurants have been keeping the lion’s share of the fee and passing along just a small fraction to the staff. Now a state appeals court has ruled that the practice is as illegal as it is outrageous. more ›
