Susur Lee Restaurant Staff Allege Tips Taken
Employees from multiple Susur Lee restaurants claim that large portions of their tips were being withheld to pay for various errors that occurred during their shifts, including drink spills, incorrect drink orders and broken dishes.
Deductions – or IOUs as they were called – would be indicated in pen on the tip envelopes handed out to workers. Some of these IOUs amounted to more than $100 over a one-week period.
