Tip etiquette is always a funny thing. As a customer, you always want to show appreciation for the lowest level workers. Also, as a customer, you know that spending $170 at a small business is almost a gift in of itself (admittedly, more for the business owner than the employee).
But, was the employee expecting to make 20% tip on a $170 order? Does one normally tip more than $1 at a food truck, if at all?
Was the business owner expecting to post big profits for the day and not compensate the worker a bit more for that day?
At the end of the day, the worker may have a right to be upset watching everyone greatly profit but himself.

- Falling3 13y agoA gift for a small business may just as well be a curse for an employee. He specifically mentioned the order contained several sandwiches that were more difficult/time-consuming to prepare and that this added to their usual volume to create a very busy situation. I know it's all part of the job he signed up for, but it's not pleasant to be working that hard and feel rushed and pressured by a group of people waiting on you. And to answer your third question, I'm quite sure the business owner would not be doing any profit sharing.
