Are the cashiers getting tipped out? If so, then I would discuss the
possibility of getting tipped out from the cashiers - 1-2% of sales typically.
If the cashiers don't get tipped then you're fighting a losing battle. You
have cashiers that work their ass off for no tips and bartenders that work
their ass off for half a nights tips - the owner is not going to be
sympathetic towards you wanting more money.
If mostly everyone else seems ok with the setup, I think I would start looking
for another place to work. However, if those half night tips work out to $100
/ night or more, I would probably stick around since the vibe and atmosphere
are cool.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!
