Taron Murakami's article, "Case Comment on McCullum v. McAlister’s Corp. of Miss.," was published July 1, 2010 in Hospitality Law. In her article, Taron provides insight into cases, such as McCullum v. McAlister's Corporation of Mississippi case, where the plaintiffs are bringing class or collective actions against employers for claims arising from tip pooling arrangements. According to Taron, "The McCullum decision mainly underscores the importance of ensuring that tips earned in tip pooling arrangements only be distributed to tipped employees and not be retained by the employer or its agents. These arrangements can include tip jars left at cash registers, tip amounts designated on credit card slips, or any policy by an employer requiring its tipped employees to share tips."
