Renegotiating an agreement is not "weaseling out." It's a perfectly legitimate
practice. If you've built up a following at the store, the manager will realize your
worth. But he may ask for something in return, like you can not NOT accept tips. Are
you ready for that?

Or, it's possible (although unlikely) that the manager will be offended and your
relationship will be terminated. I doubt that will happen, but you have to be ready
for it. In any case, if they are not willing to pay you, and you're ready to look
somewhere where they WILL pay, see if you can get a letter of reference from the
manager at your current store (you could still stay on there for tips while working
someplace else.)

Good luck!
