inflation has doubled in the last 25 years too, you dolt.
this is all based on percentages
if price of goods goes up, then tips based on standard percentage go up to
in short, inflation has zero to do with your point

Wrong-first and foremost-inflation effects the cost of food-so yes it does effect total dollars spent. Secondly, tips aren't based only on food cost, you dolt-they are based on service. As with any industry, dining (fine dining in particular) gets more refined with over time the total cost of doing business goes up. As the consumers expectations go up for service(mostly due to an increase of wealth and status-the same reason they are dining out in the first place) the price of service goes up.
Tipping is only there to keep the cost of business down for the owner and pass along to the consumer. So yes, inflation has influenced tipping percentages.
