No it isn't. Two people ordering identical tuna sandwiches in the same
place should pay the same tip.

One ordering it at a place that charges $4 for a tuna sandwich should
pay less tip than one ordering it at a place that charges $18 for it,
however.

And anyone wishing to change this system will shortly find that the
quality of service at the $18 places will approach the quality of
service at the $4 places, not the other way around.

And if they didn't want to tip that much for it they should take their
cheap ass and their squawling brats across the street to the $4 joint.
