To the best of my knowledge, NO ONE has the job or is responsible for making sure restaurants, or any other business is successful by spending our money there if we don't want to. We should patronize places we like and spend what what we feel is reasonable. It is not our responsibility to tip outrageously to put a waiters kid through college or to fill the pay gap the business owner won't pay so they can keep a larger portion for themselves. If a business fails, it is sad, but it is not my fault or yours. No need to feel guilty.
