Since prices went up at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, I've seen improved tipping.
Like, with everything going up a dollar here and there, from beers to noodle dishes, that bumps up the base value that people tip on, and so you see tip-totals going up, on average.
When I was telling this to my one (newer) (taller) (Thai) coworker, though, she said that she's actually seen tipping go **down**.
Like, whereas before people who ordered a pad thai would just round up to twenty and that's the tip, now that the price has changed, they're still doing that, and so you're out a dollar and more on tipping, with every order like that.
So, she didn't disagree that what I saw happening might be happening, but what she noticed was the very opposite, at least with like the pad thais.
