Happy are the employees of the Toreador Mexican restaurant to receive the tips divided among themselves. How many are they? And how much they received each?

I would say around 20 to 30 since the source of the story did not give out a number.

@Nakitakona You are correct since the line would be "$50 dollars is better than nothing."

I agree with you since a lot of customers have donated large amount of tip money during the year in an attempt to keep the restaurant open since the pandemic startred.

That is a good question since the donor wants to keep his identity a secret.

I agree with you since these kinds of events hardly make it to the national news telecasts.

I agree with you since the small stores are struggling to remain open during this pandemic.
