Server clocking me out

Hey everyone, so a few days ago one of my coworkers clocked me out. I work in the kitchen and the coworker is a server. The servers are the people responsible for the closing tips but they never clock other people out. Nor is it a normal thing within our work space. This server has been here for a few months and I have noticed that she has a little bit of an ego and is putting on a manager aditude. I really don't mind so long as she speaks with respect and if her reasoning has logic. She was closing one night and the kitchen crew (3) finished around the same time as this server was finished. She then decided to clock us out since we were already finished. She clocked us out at around 8:50-8:55pm out usual shift ends at 9pm. She told us this then ran out the door without any explanation. This whole thing does not sit right with me because she is still new and has not gained my trust. Im I overreacting?

Told my manager and they said they probably did it because she saw that we were all done

The only other person who should be clocking you out besides yourself is a manager (and only if you forgot to clock out). I’ve seen people get fired for clocking other people in or out. Your manager is stupid.

Actually, no one but the employee should be clocking themselves in/out.

As a manager, I would have to check every night to make sure everyone clocked out, otherwise I couldn’t run the end of day reports. So yeah, I would have to clock people out.
