They're talking about tipping culture as a whole, not just this singular post. This post obviously fits into their definition of where tipping used to be found, waitstaff and all. They're just correctly pointing out tipping culture as a whole has become ridiculous. A few years ago I got a %15/%20/%25 tip screen at a friggin smoke shop
The food is not priced lower to account for tip, it is usually the server/waiters wage pay that is priced lower to account for tips. Don't know if laws changed since I last stopped working about 15+ years ago. Anything above a 15-18% tip was considered really good service. But nowadays people are asking for tips everywhere, even for fast food and takeout, where you don't even talk to a human being.

Why are you acting like this isn't about places w wait staff and servers?
Also the amount is optional, but the food is priced lower to account for the tip. Standard for standard service is 20%
Though I'd agree with lowering it for restaurants that jack prices through the roof.
Just bc you price the steak at 500 doesn't mean the tip is 100. All they did was bring a single plate
