Can He Do This?

I’m going to make this as quick as possible.

I work at a restaurant in Georgia.

Tonight, someone realized they were missing some sauces for their order once they got home.

They called the restaurant and then drove back to pick up the stuff they were missing.

The girl who handled this tried to charge them for the sauces, (which she shouldn’t have since it was missing to begin with.)

She was extremely rude to the customers and tried to close the drive through window in their face while they were talking.

The owner of the restaurant is now saying he’s taking $100 from our tips to pay for a gift certificate for these customers.

My question is, can he legally take away our tips?

I don’t know if this is important or not, but we get paid a normal hourly wage, then get tips. So we’re not a place that only makes a few dollars and tips make up the rest to minimum wage.

For example I make $11 an hour.

Only one girl was responsible for being rude, the rest of us had nothing to do with it.

Anyways, can he legally take away our tips or no?
