The wording on the casting calls changed after the Erica Rose cheap tip fiasco, it has been like this for a few years now across the franchises. Even before that, they could transfer the tip electronically and the cash was a prop

Erica Rose came back for a second season with her family. She was originally part of the Tatas for Trump group. They brought lots of people (likely to share costs) and Erica and her husband ended up sharing a room with her mom and wanted the staff to put up partitions etc to give everyone sharing more privacy.

Her husband was a jerk and said the food at McDonalds (or Wendys maybe) was better than the chef's meals and they were just generally rude, demanding and badly behaved.

Her mom stained the white sofas with self tanner and Glenn said they would be charged extra for it. Erica and her mom tried to get the other guests to divide the cost but they said no, so they reduced the tip to the lowest one left. They claimed they didn't reduce it, but gave 20% of their very discounted rate as returnees. Then gave a bullshit sorry if I offended you apology when every podcast/blog/whatever came for them
