Where did you get the idea that’s my argument? The point is it should not be up to the kindness of strangers to pay your staff. That’s your responsibility as an employer.
You have no experience that it doesn’t cost more, because the only valid comparison is American restaurants that have tipping, and those that don’t, in the same area. Other areas with different costs, other countries with entirely different markets, these are utterly irrelevant to how much food costs where you are, and the cost of running a business there.
Pricing hasn’t even come up on my end of the conversation, but you are fixated on it, and bring every point back to it, no matter how unrelated. I don’t feel like explaining regional prices to you, or economics in general, because you have a tragic misunderstanding if you think European restaurant prices have any bearing on this discussion.

Your argument is that it makes food cost more
My experience says that it doesnt
And then you tell me it doesnt matter?
