The most illogical part of this is that tips already account for inflation because... They're a percentage!
But the vast majority of people can't understand math so fall for the argument of tips needing to increase to help match inflation.

Also since cost of living is getting higher and higher one could assume less people eat out. And then, since it is a percentage, servers loose out on tip
Its not reasonable that owners raise prices when there is less guests.
Neither is them raising pay when business is down.
Hence the least unreasonable option for workers is asking for more tip from guests. Since they spend money eating out it's fair to assume they can afford it and therfore might afford to pay more tip.
