25% is insane. This is the one thing about American culture I hate the most. If you don't tip or tip less, you get frowned upon and/or shamed for it. Pay your damn servers instead of telling the customers to pay your employees' salary.

Why the fuck am I supposed to pay for the food AND then surprise also add your staff salary onto the same bill at the end? Just price things what they actually cost, and pay people what the job is worth. And oh if I feel so inclined to give someone a little extra for being awesome, that’s entirely between us and should not be part of the food cost or taxes whatsoever

I promise you, you would not pay for a break that was priced high enough to pay staff a living wage. I work in produce sales. Last night, I should the last our pumpkins to a customer, at $18 each.
