"$10,000 Tip Leads to Server's Firing: Business Decision or Cancel Culture?"
A Michigan waitress who received a $10,000 tip was fired from her job days later, with the restaurant claiming the dismissal was unrelated to the generous gratuity and was “purely a business decision.” The anonymous customer left the now-viral tip to honor a friend, requesting the server to split the gift amongst the entire wait staff. The restaurant owners refuted claims that the firing was related to the tip or its aftermath, citing labor laws as a reason for not providing details.
