The real solution is to increase minimum wage to be $25/hour.

Part of that tip goes to kids like mine...Sous Chefs (yes, they have their Red Seals) in restaurants where they have no interaction with customers and depend on tipouts to make up an actual living wage in the worst paid of all professions.
You're mad at someone?
BE MAD AT THE OWNERS WHO SHORTCHANGE THEIR STAFF AND EXPECT YOU TO MAKE IT UP.
STOP USING SKIP AND DOORDASH (they don't tip the resto staff, except for a few with a "community option"). MAKE SURE BACK-END STAFF GET TIPPED.
(Fair notice: I used to own a restaurant and made sure my staff were well-paid and that customers knew tipping was not necessary. If they wanted to tip - and most did - they were welcome to do so.)
