Back when I was a McManager, I appreciated anyone who treated my employees and I like actual human beings. Whenever possible, I'd go above and beyond for those people :) At my peak I made $11/hour and employees started at ~$7.50 so a $2 tip was a wonderful bump for the hour. Tips weren't generally shared since they never officially happened. We weren't setup for them because of tax purposes. Other fast food restaurants like Sonic rely on tips and are equipped to handle those kind of situations. Since then (2015) McDonald's raised their USA minimum to be $9 and likely more since I last checked.

Interesting, yeah I pay by credit card so the $2 addition is definitely "on the books", unfortunately. I think each restaurant or chain has a different policy on how they disperse tips and I know some places do pool it (and I've def heard horror stories where the manager or owner keeps a huge chunk of the tips). But yeah I mean, everyone is valid and awesome and deserves to be treated right. Even if they make a mistake I only mention it if it's massive or repeated, and even then I don't want "a free meal", I just want to not have a key ingredient in my dish missing (or whatever) hahaha ;)
