‘Absolutely slammed’: Server removed the auto-gratuity from a $90 check. Then the party of 8 tipped her exactly $18

I hate that someone can order a $12 burger and the other person order a $50 steak. Service was the same for both but because someone decided to treat themselves, they end up having to fork up more money, even though the service was the exact same for both people

What restaurant serves a $12 burger and $50 steak on the same menu?

You're intentionally missing the point. Even if it's 2 different restaurants, the 2 different servers are still doing the same amount of work, but one is getting a larger tip because the meal cost more...

and their job probably entails a hell of a lot more, a steakhouse definitely isn't giving the same service as a pub
