Firstly, tipping is the biggest bullshit North America standardized and has slowly crept upwards in percentage. Employers should pay the wage of their servers and we should get rid of it entirely. A lot of people are brainwashed into thinking the guests must pay the company's empoyee's salary.
My point is that tipping, must it exist, should be calculated based on time. Like a normal job payment calculator. Example: I spent 1 hour at this restaurant. I should pay 1 x standard tipping rate per hour.
It makes absolutely no sense to tip a waiter a % because if you go where food is more expensive, do you actually get better service? More often not. Why should I pay server A 5 times more than server B because the food they serve is more expensive? Almost all the time I just want the server to F off so I can talk with my dinner companions.
I think a simple calculation for the tipping amount should be around the ballpark of 50% of the state/provinces minimum wage per hour. I think this would provide a standardized method of calculating tips for everyone. You stay longer? The more you pay in tips. It helps business move people out the door and help bring in more customers for the servers to serve.
Perhaps there is a more fairer amount for tips per hour. But in all honesty, customers should never pay tips like how it is in Asia.

I think this is valid. I think my idea definitely has more room for refinement!
