I don't think there's much guarantee that any tips given via kiosk are shared in full or in part with the employee in front of you.
When I'm in doubt, I ask, and so far the answer has always been yes, they get the tips.
But do they REALLY know?
I think people know if they're getting paid or not.
but do they know if their employer is giving them the full amount of the tip?
Idk for those little counter service places, but as an actual waiter I was responsible for tallying up my receipts and tips at the end of a shift.
