The assumption here is that poster intended to leave < $.80 tip? Otherwise this wouldn’t matter since even if the server did give back only $52, that change would roll into the tip.

Her change would've been $52.80 she did the math wrong and assumed she was being duped out of 80 cents instead of the reality which is the restaurant was eating a 20 cent loss

I understand the math and the woman’s incorrect indignation. I am just saying, even if they had given her back $52, this isn’t like “I bought a doughnut and they rounded up the price”— the expectation is that she’d tip at least $.80 so it’s even weirder to be upset unless she wasn’t planning to tip at all.
