As I said before, this has been taken to extremes unfortunately, but in other cases it would be pretty hard to get anyone to step into more responsibility at 15 an hour when they could remain servers/bartenders at a better overall wage.

wow okay then. I used to work in a bar many years ago and we never had to tip out the managers so I was shocked to read this. Mine were all kind of jerks anyway so it would have pissed me off to have to tip them out.
