Now when waiter tells chef the customer sent it back, I'm the bad guy, when she took the order, she gave it to the chef and should have seen it was wrong before picking it up. Don't fret dear. I'll eat the shoe. It's not your fault. 20% tip.
You will be happy to know that tips are not solicited or expected at the grocery store. Perhaps rather than putting up with the poor preparation and service you should cook for yourself and do it right the first time.

It’s a bit humorous that you feel terribly scammed by being forced to choose how much tip to leave. This implies you would feel better if the restaurant simply added 25% to the price of each item. Maybe that would work the next time you eat out; “Look, I don’t agree with tipping so just add a 25% inflation fee to my bill and I’ll pay that.”

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
