A TikTok video showing an Applebee's receipt with a lousy tip amount went viral online and sparked a debate about tipping etiquette.

The bill seen in the video was from an Applebee's in Staten Island, New York, totaling $73.45.

The customer left a $6.33 tip. That's below a 10% minimum and less than double for a standard 18% gratuity, which would have been $13.

Even more perplexing was a note the customer wrote praising the server for good service, which read:

"You [were] great. Holidays are just rough right now."

TikToker @kingJ24 posted the video, which you can see, here.

People were divided in the comments, with some TikTokers slamming an industry in which workers are reliant on tips due to low wages, and others criticizing the server for tip-shaming.

The Daily Dot learned that according to the National Restaurant Association’s State of the Industry Mid-Year Update in September, "three out of every four restaurant owners say employee hiring and retention as their greatest difficulty."

The catalyst for the high turnover could be due to the expectations placed on servers who work long hours for meager wages.

AOC Uses Midterm Election To Perfectly Explain Where 'Millennial Cringe' Comes From To Gen Z

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down where so-called "millennial cringe" comes from to Gen Z voters after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

The term "millennial cringe" has gained popularity among Gen Z to mock the optimistic Internet culture of the 2010s. Ocasio-Cortez said "millennial cringe" is understandable when you consider the impact millennials had by electing Barack Obama, who became the nation's first Black president.

Ted Cruz Roasted After Making Hilariously Bleak Realization Following Texas Midterm Elections

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked after he realized he is the only statewide elected Republican left in his state after Democrats swept every statewide race, winning the governorship and a Senate seat for the first time in decades.

In Texas, the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.
