UK here, that's exactly what I would have done. $300 even is more than fair. The problem is, the staff would still see that as an insult, because American culture has conditioned its citizens into believing that restaurants not paying their staff a livable wage is acceptable.

Tbh I'm from Germany and if I'm paying 288€ for a meal I'm at least paying 300 and leaving the rest for the waiter if they were nice
