I'm sorry for her that she lost her job, but by posting this receipt she has kindled a very heated debate. I think, in that sense, she did a very good thing. This is an instance of her reporting on a perceived injustice. Maybe you don't agree with this particular gripe, but if everyone stood up to what they see an perceived injustices, then we might have a much livelier debate about what's right and wrong in society. I applaud her for it, independent of what anyone thinks about the rightness or obligatory nature of tipping.
