Why do we tip based on cost of the meal?

Let me start by saying I always tip 20% or more. But I was wondering, what’s the difference if the server brings me a plate with an $8 burger vs if it was a $50 steak?

It’s a sales driving tactic for the wait staff. Even outside of like corporate restaurants, waiters are incentivized to upsell you.

So not only are they being fucked by low wages, they are also (essentially) forced to participate in the system that is screwing them for owner profit.
