Let's play devil's advocate from my example above...
I would argue that it takes more skill and effort to prepare a good pho than steak & lobster. The difference in price is attributable to the greater cost of the ingredients. So why would a $1.25 tip be sufficient at Pho Kim, but insulting at Caesar's. At the basic level, I would argue more effort went into the Pho Kim dish, but I am expected to tip 6-7 X as much at Caesar's (per dish) just because the prices are $8 vs $45...
