This being the case, I've reduced the amount that I'm now tipping. What irritates me is they still have the 18, 20, 25% tip suggestions at the bottom of the receipt.

If the rent goes up and the owner has to increase prices then you'll tip more.
If the price of food goes up and the owner has to increase prices then you'll tip more.
If the cooks get a raise and the owner has to increase prices then you'll tip more.
If the owner wants to go on another cruise and he has to increase prices then you'll tip more.
But if the owner has to increase prices so that the lowest paid employee can have an increase equivalent to about one month's rent ($1/hour) then that's a bridge too far and you will penalize the employee. Got it.
Fortunately, not everyone will share that opinion. Regrettably, some will.
