    Are number of items fixed in your question?

    If so, little mechanically on the waiters part.

    But, a more expensive meal comes with higher service standards. More attentive, but not intrusive. More knowledgeable about the menu. More readiness to make adjustments based on customer need.

    So in that situation you are asking for a more experienced, or more skillfully employee, and that costs more.

      I’d argue the skill difference matters much more in the kitchen, yet they only see a tiny percentage of the tips if they’re lucky

      Ah see, to me their whole job is bringing me food, keeping my drink from being empty, and not being rude.

      I don’t need all the pomp, I go to a restaurant for the food.

      The funny part is you are effectively paying twice for that since the restaurant has increased the price of the food to account for all the pomp.
