One shortly before university I was at a restaurant with a friend of mine and me, being a bit more into collectivist / anarchist thought were doing what I tended to do then and in other settings. Pay as much as you think is sensible and you can afford (this means if it is a cheap place and you can afford it give the workers more money, in a more expensive place your friends might subsidise you). The idea is that everyone who pays pitches in some amount and in the end the important part is that the tips are enough.
However he was so angry about that way (me sharing more than would be the exact half split of the meal) that he - who had about 1.5 times my income - took money out so that the server would get what was common and the meal was only payed just.
With another group of friends that way worked out fine (it does depend on everyone in principle being able to cover themselves though and not for the sake of it consume resources of others). There we also regularly would just throw money into the pot and give the servers a good tip and distribute the excess money back to the ones who currently wouldn't have at much. The principle of first throwing in stuff into the pot (even if it was symbolically and you would get the money back) was important though and with each time we reaffirmed some solidarity agreement.

That's some real psycho shit. My dad did the same thing when my siblings left a big tip for a waitress he was mean to. They deliberately left the tip after he'd left the table. Son of a bitch came back in, took the money, they came back out, and gave it back to them while they were in the car. Just straight up stole the waitress's money.
Tipping wait staff for their primary income is bullshit anyway. Fuck this stupid ass antiquated system just so boomers can walk around feeling like little queens and kings being serviced by the peasants. They should just make a normal fucking wage and not have to act all fake and shit to get a batter tip so maybe they dont have to eat ramen every night of the week.

All because he didn't think she deserved more.
