Can restaurants keep the tips from credit card receipts?


Question by stella: Can restaurants keep the tips from credit card receipts?
I was recently told by the manager at a restaurant that the tips I wrote in on my credit card receipt did not go to the server. She said since they pay their workers above minimum wage that they were not required by law to give them to the wait staff. I think this is wrong since that’s what I intended as a customer. And I think this is illegal.

Inform the state labor board about what they said.
