I agree with you but I believe I have an answer. The implication is, if you can afford to buy the $100 steak, you can afford to tip more. And if you can’t afford to tip more, you shouldn’t but the steak.
Which is horrible, and dumb, and tipping is garbage. But that’s where that comes from.
I drove for a decade before the apps and this is exactly how it worked. Tipping expectation was proportional to distance and most people understood this. If the order was big enough to require multiple trips to the car (basically a catering order or like 20+ pizzas) we’d expect another $5 or so.
Expecting 25%? Where are you hearing this?
