If it's something that the place 'just does', like having a special on a particular type of sushi, I would probably just tip to the sale price.

That's how I feel too.
Yeah, pretty much.

True, but then again the effort in bringing food is not related to the price of the food in general. Which is why it would be better if waiters were paid a full salary instead of depending on tips, and thus have their fair pay that way. I don't like the fact that the salary for waiters is getting forced out of the bill (since their salary is so low) and forced on the tip (because that makes the price on the menu seem lower, I guess).
I feel that restaurant operators will keep pushing the salary of waiters down as much as possible (thus saving on their cost and dropping the price on their menu items) and conversely force the tip become higher. While it ends up being the same total price overall, I just don't like that variable element in it. I'd rather just pay a fixed amount that includes proper remuneration for the waiting staff. Anyway, maybe this should have gone in the other thread
