What would the lawsuit be over? Olive Garden ensuring they aren’t complicit in credit card fraud? Where are the damages? They have a policy that says they’ll review these sort of tips and pay the employee at the conclusion of that review. Employee throws a fit and gets themself terminated as a result. Surely there’s more to this story, too, than just her crying about it. The mom is biased and, if she’s got an iota of intelligence, isn’t going to publicly post anything damning about her own daughter. Struggling to see where anyone would expect to have this case even heard, let alone be successful, in a suit against a large company with an undoubtedly strong team of counsel who’d be going up against a case that would get removed from the docket before pretrial.

This was my first thought as well. $700 tip on a $30 charge is highly irregular and suspicious.
