Fifteen pay stubs obtained from a half-dozen workers between May and August show employees have not received any tips on some paychecks, even as customers are automatically prompted to tip after every purchase. Many of the workers are in their late teens or early 20s and said the missing tips have made it harder for them to afford their living costs.
“I had to get a second job just to pay for my tuition because I was counting on this job,” said one cashier who requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation from the management. “With our pay being so low and not getting tips, it wasn’t going to be enough to get me through my semester.”
Employees said they began noticing the missing tips after the team’s owner, Diamond Baseball Holdings, took over the concessions from a contractor at the start of the 2026 season. The stadium does not accept cash, so all tips are made via credit or debit cards. Some workers said they have put out tip jars to try to make up some of the difference.
“We take employee matters very seriously and have taken necessary steps to ensure employees have received their appropriate compensation in the wake of the transition between service providers,” said Lauren Flemming, vice president of communications for the owner.
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $7.2 million in state funding to cover legal services for an estimated 1,400 unaccompanied children facing deportation alone and without attorneys after a federal contract ended late last month.
“The Trump administration has found a brand-new way to hurt children, innocent children,” Hochul said Wednesday. “Think of a child, all ages, going into a courtroom by themselves and having to plead their case. … Any parent knows that is preposterous. It’s cruel. It’s illegal.”
The City Reporter covered how federal funding lapses are leaving children unrepresented in New York immigration proceedings. Federal law requires the government to provide attorneys to unaccompanied children “to the greatest extent practicable,” but the Trump administration last month ended a longstanding contract with the nonprofit Acacia Center for Justice.
The administration first replaced that contract with one with a 26-person Texas-based law firm founded by a former Trump appointee, though the firm has reportedly withdrawn its bid. A second contract was awarded to a company founded by a former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
