A delivery driver is accused of returning to a Florida motel where a couple were staying and stabbing a woman multiple times this week over having been tipped $2 on an order, authorities said. … Brianna Alvelo, 22, is charged with attempted murder, home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping and aggravated assault, according to court records. A man alleged to have accompanied Alvelo during the incident has not yet been identified.

A woman, her boyfriend and the woman's 5-year-old daughter were staying at a motel in Kissimmee to celebrate a birthday and ordered a Marco's pizza Sunday, according to an affidavit filed in Alvelo's case. The affidavit is based on the woman's interview with the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.

Alvelo delivered the pizza, which cost about $33, and was asked to give change for a $50 bill, the affidavit said. But Alvelo did not have change, and the woman searched for smaller bills, giving Alvelo only a $2 tip in the end, authorities said.

The woman said that sometime later, she heard a loud knocking on the door, the affidavit said. A man and a woman clad in all black wearing masks forced themselves into the room when she opened the door, it said.

the perps knew where to find a $50.

being disappointed by tips is a frequent event in any of these businesses, as is the occasional pleasant surprise.

Oh, the stories he would tell about tips. And the lack of them.
