>mgmt has overstaffed for nights that are traditionally slow
Of course management doesn't have an incentive not to over staff because they aren't paying the employees hardly anything anyways. Add that with employees bribing^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htipping other employees and, wow, what a dysfunctional system.
I'd imagine bartenders would pretty much always be required to pool tips with each other since whenever there's more than one working they always work in a team.
In places where they don't pool the direct wait staff might still need to give a cut to others. It was explained to me that the busboys will sandbag you if they feel cheated, and then good luck turning over tables in your section when they haven't been cleared.
