Airica expressed fear that her account on the platform would be deactivated for putting the restaurant on blast for their cheapness, so she didn't name it in her video. However, she later resolved to share the post in an attempt to "spread awareness" about Instacart shopper pay.

Folks who viewed Airica's original video had plenty to say about the order. Some offered ways Airica could address the situation with the business.Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok  @iricanotafrica
Some remarked they found it strange that a restaurant that presumably employs a substantial number of workers who rely on tips, wouldn't offer one to Airica. TikTok users also said that, because the restaurant was placing the order on what was most likely a company card, they didn't want to have to explain gratuity to their accounting department.Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok  @iricanotafrica
People who pointed to the possibility of an accounting issue suggested that whoever took the job would probably be tipped in cash upon arrival.

"You should have called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager, then ask the manager why their 200+ order had no tip," wrote one person. "I've used company credit cards in the past where we did not have authorization for tips. I always tipped in person instead.
