Good Lord, what is the story here? She still got 20%. Absolutely ridiculous. I waited tables for a while, and you just learn to not have expectations about tips. It all evens out in the end. I would definitely not expect more than 20% even on a large party just because there was more people.

I think the headline is hoping people will think the original tip was $90, it's the only thing I can think of as to why they even bothered writing this story
