Not directly related to the article, but I've never understood why tipping is a % of the meal price. Like yes, the service you get is loosely related to the price—I'm getting much better service at 3 star michelin than some local shop. But assuming 20% these days, is the service at a $300 vs $100 place really that much better to warrant a $40 extra in tip alone? (of course I'm using the extreme upper end example here)
It should not exist at all, but even if it does, it should be based on the staff's actual service, not the all the other things that go into the price of a plate like ingredient, chef's name value, etc
