I think I'll go in and buy a meal while my daughter is on shift, drop a 5 spot into the tip jar, then mention it to the owner when I confirm she did not receive tips that day.
I don't want to (yet) put her job at jeopardy, but I think the review idea is great :--). I'll re-post the name of the establishment if it comes to that.

I don't see how the bad review idea is going to help. It doesn't address the problem, just punishes the owner for some unspecified reason. If you give a bad review and state it is because your kid didn't get his/her tips, who's going to care if they like the food?
At 16.5 she can choose to be an activist and fight this or accept it as part of a world where people don't play fair. I'm not sure which way I would go. There are always going to be people who don't play fair and that's a good lesson to learn, but teaching her to stand up for herself has its appeal too. I think the learning moment here is in choosing your battles, and can't say which way she should go. In other words, I'm useless to you.
