Does Starbucks allow its employees to get tips?

Absolutely.

And read the recent newspapers (March 2008), a court said Starbucks was required to NOT include the managers in the splitting of the tips (which they had been doing), and pay the other staff a huge amount for the tips that the managers had already received!

So, I guess while they allow tips for their employees and work team, they can only allow the actual tip to go to certain employees!
