My experience of high-end restaurants is that waiters serve fewer
tables in the course of an evening, requiring each table to pay a
higher tip for these waiters to bring home comparable wages to low-end,
quick turnover restaurants.

Admittedly, there are restaurants that cost more and still shove you
out the door, and cheap places that let you linger.
