Starbucks has been ordered to pay $106 million to barristas because their compensation plan declared shift managers shared in tips. The worker who brought this suit must have figured that out on day one, so if unhappy, why not quit? I doubt this judgment will stand on appeal, because shift supervisors work as hard as anyone else, and aren't paid much better. The problem is the cost to our economy to fight these fights; a free market would allow a Tully's to out[perform Starbucks in compensation, if it were truly an issue, and gain market share.
