if you work as a courtesy clerk at a grocery store, are you allowed to accept tips from customers?

The store you work for will have a policy for that. If not, it doesn't happen much outside of Christmas season, so accepting a tip would be gracious.

From what I understand, if you are a carryout person, who takes someone's bags to their car, they are right to tip you and you can likely accept the tip without going against company policy. I don't think anyone else is generally allowed to get tips at stores, but once as a cashier when a customer insisted, and the manager wasn't around, I accepted a tip and bought the other cashiers and myself cans of pop.

I work at a grocery store, we are not suppose to take it. once I had a customer just leave a dollar on my register because I said I couldn't take it.. I took it anyways lol

when i worked at dunkin donuts, management was adamant about us collecting tips.

it's not like we would ask for them, and many times i had to turn down free money, something to do with the money not being "taxable" WHATEVS!!! the worst part was the management used to make us put whatever money was left for us in the cash drawers so ultimately, when she straightened the money at the end of each shift, guess where the money went.

**on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we would be allowed to get them.

Take it to be nice back

never mind
