Agree, she shouldn't have dumped the guilt trip on the customer.
HOWEVER - the situation she described - really does happen. Even when the tip is a GOOD tip - I mean if the person only ordered a cup of coffee and a slice of cake for $8 total, if they give a $3 tip - that really does get shared with the host and the other wait staff in many places. If it's not cash, it gets pooled. And the waiter who earned that $3 tip might not even see a full dollar of it, once it's been split.
