4921 REVIEW DENIED Labor Code rule that prevents employers or their agents from taking any part of a gratuity left by a patron for an individual employee does not prevent the sharing of collective tips placed in a box for the benefit of all employees providing service, some of whom were shift managers; whether or not the shift managers were agents of the employer, the statutory provision did not prevent tip sharing with such managers since they provided customer service and patrons intended to leave tips for all service providers.CitationCHAU v STARBUCKS (Supervisors Tips) 174 CA4 688 [See: B&PC 17200; LabC 351; Leighton v Old Heidelberg 219 CA3 1062; Lu v Hawaiian Gardens (RevGrtd) 170 CA4 466, T/AT2/09; Budrow v Dave & Busters 171 CA4 875, T/AT 4/09; Grodensky v.
