Simpler: never tip a percentage. Tip a fixed amount. It makes no sense to me to pay more because I ordered a more expensive dish.

That's like saying a real estate agent should make $8k regardless of what property they sell.
You could argue that, but only by ignoring practical matters of effort/level of service/value that attends a different price.

The fact that real estate agents are paid by percentage is the most ridiculous thing ever. I'm done with that. Pay 60k commission sales fee on your million dollar house? Houses sell in one week or less where I live. There's literally no reason to pay that money.

It's not really about how expensive of a dish you order, but about how fancy the restaurant is and how many people you bring with you.

You’re tipping the waiter so that he can make a decent wage, you’re not tipping the waiter so that he can make a fancy wage because his fancy restAurant doesn’t pay him/her. The number of people should also not influence your individual tip.
