The generosity of a $100 tip entirely depends on context. Waffle House? Yeah, it’s generous.
But there are plenty of high end places where plates cost $400 each, the wine can easily be $5000 per bottle, and a $100 tip wouldn’t even cover the wait staff’s tip-out at the end of the night. I have 100% seen billionaire propaganda about “Mark Cuban tips waiter $1500, look how generous he is” when it was just a standard 15% tip on a $10k bill.
Tipping works differently at that level but sure
I don't really understand scaling tips past a certain point. The service is generally the same whether it was a $1000 steak or a $20 steak. Unless it goes directly to the chef. Everything else is already compensated by the cost of the meal.
