She pointed at the tip tray and demanded, "and you tip me this?" in front of my friends.

I was a bit puzzled so I said, "I think that's about right. That's about 20%." I was about to offer her a calculator, but she stared at me and then stormed off. Somehow, I don't think this would happen in Korea.
I would have said yes there is something wrong, and it is with your attitude. I then would have removed all of the tip and walked out without a care in the world.
