I honestly don't know why people go to restaurants in the US. I don't want a guilt trip from the waiter with my expensive meal. Talk about a buzz kill.

$70 is a few days worth of food if you do groceries. Plus $0 tips
Are you sure? I'm hearing news about suggested tip values on almost all point of sales machines. Maybe even grocery stores.

If you live in a tipping culture and can't afford to tip, then you can't afford to eat somewhere with a waitress.
this is the reverse of "if you can't afford a job that pays you find another job". I'm all for tipping for service rendered and I'm the first to suggest tipping at tables, but some of the "recommended tip rates" requested at establishments are extortionary. I'm 100% ok with tipping 15-20%, even moreso/higher if it's a super small order or the waiter went above and beyond but, my 45 minute meal that you visited twice maybe 3 times tops for does not warrent a 25+% tip rate.
Don't you agree with them if your argument is basically that 15% is expected but 25% is extortionate?

Not even close.
Look at Mr. Fatcat over here eating out while we're on the verge of a recession.
We've been on the verge of a recession for years. It's just called "life" now.
On the verge of a recession is gonna be new go to excuse.
