People are flocking to social media to weigh in on a waitress making $600 tips from one shift.
While one man believes no server should get 25 percent tips for simply doing 'their job,' clearly, others think different, or this waitress wouldn't have ended up with a staggering $600 in tips from one day's shift.
Haven Tunin - who goes by the username @haven.tunin - took to her TikTok page last year after finishing a 12-hour shift at a pizzeria.

In the video, she documents herself clocking out of her shift and going through her 'server checkout' revealing she made over $2,000 in sales that day.
But how much did she take home in tips from serving so many people she brought in $2,000 for the restaurant?
Well, to her own shock, Tunin reveals she's received over $600 in charge tips.
Showing the numbers on screen, Haven says in the video: “Oh my f**king god, I don’t think I’ve ever claimed this much.”
Taking her cheques to the bar and returning with a huge wedge of dollar bills and a beer, Tunin reflects on the day as 'insane'.
She continues: "People were so generous and nice. It was amazing."
The waitress then sits down to properly count her stack of money, with a deservedly huge smile on her face at her small fortune, revealing she made a total of $674 for her long shift.
"That is insane for a 12-hour shift, for a Sunday especially," she adds. "And my sales were $2,200 so like I said, people were very generous today."
Finishing work with a pocket full of cash, Tunin cheersed her beer to her followers – also shocked by her earnings.
One wrote in the comments: "Pop off queen that’s a good ass day."
With others saying: “Wow. You have to be a phenomenal server that tip to sales ratio is insane. Kudos.”
Another put: “F**king no way bro I make 100$ on a good day rn I’m sobbing.”
Many are desperate to know her secrets too as they commented: “I think I might be doing something wrong because I make like $300 on a 12 hour shift.”
But Tunin reassured: “I don’t always make this much, I normally make between 150 on a slow day and 600 on a good day on Sundays. It really just depends on the day.”
The server shares various videos of her check-outs on TikTok, where she has made $324 and the likes of $237 on a ‘really slow day’.
On a nine-hour-shift day where she made $393, she said it was ‘not that bad’ because she only ‘took one table’ that night.
But as she racks up well over $600 in one shift, users joked: “Where tf you work???? Y’all hiring????”
