  Are number of items fixed in your question?

  If so, little on the waiters part.

    Ah see, to me their whole job is bringing me food, keeping my drink from being empty, and not being rude.

    I don’t need all the pomp, I go to a restaurant for the food.

    The funny part is you are effectively paying twice for that since the restaurant has increased the price of the food to account for all the pomp.

    I’d argue the skill difference matters much more in the kitchen, yet they only see a tiny percentage of the tips if they’re lucky

  I think you’re looking for the difference between fine dining and nouvelle cuisine / haute cuisine. Think of it like the difference between a nice steakhouse and one of those Instagram dinners where they serve your dessert in hollow chocolate balls

    I have a place down the road that makes guacamole in a molcajete at the table.

    That is way harder and more impressive than pouring a little hot chocolate.

    If you can scam them into paying it then more power to you though.

      Sounds like that server deserves a generous tip, I hope you take good care of them :)
