That is really odd. Okay. After about a month of being there, I'm pretty happy because I'm realizing that I'm making probably six or seven dollars an hour in tips on top of my minimum wage pay. I'm like, this is way more money than I thought I was going to be making here. But then suddenly that goes down to like one to two dollars an hour.

I talked to my coworkers and they're like, yeah, we also noticed that suddenly we've lost all of our tip money, which didn't make sense because it was the height of summer.

And then what would happen was Linda would take those coins to the bank and she would bring us big bills. So we'd get like $50 or $100 bills. So all these tips are missing. Linda is immediately very emotional. She starts crying. She's like, I'm so sorry. I don't know what's happening. But really hysterical. Oh. Not the reaction I was expecting.

So it was my last shift of the week. I go home like... Great, we're gonna get to the bottom of this. We'll get our tips back. I get a text from one of my coworkers the next day, and she's like, Derek found the tips.
