Any restaurant that is union does not tip the managers. My question is this. Friend of mine found a Nevada Statute that we think says it's a misdemeanor for

Yeah I think Leo is hitting it dead on. I think the law is regarding you personally tipping them, not them taking a cut of the patrons tips. To me, this is no different than tipping out the hosts.

I'm sure you could ask the right people and find out tho.
