I usually tip % but I don't go to eat at places with such high bills.

I can understand the logic though of a fixed tip. There are all kinds of situations where a server spends the same amount of time/effort for each table and get different tips based on what the person ate?

Why does that make sense that I would tip more because I got a steak instead of a burger and the server had to just bring it to me in either case?

That is a logical argument and I guess I understand why one would choose that line of thinking.

I guess I tend to eat at the same 3 restaurants around my house. They all know me and are also my neighbors. The social pressure to not be "that guy" has pushed me to tip generously I guess.

Then that should be apart of the price of the meal.
