It's OK to leave $2. At that price point, it's the gesture that counts.

Also, please ignore the crazy people who pay nearly as much on a tip than on the order. That is very far beyond social expectations, and it really doesn't increase their odds of getting into Heaven (or whatever virtue signaling they're angling for).

For the server working extra hard to put together an income out of those small tips, it's not just a gesture.

If I order a meal that costs a lot less than the restaurant typically serves, then I will pay a tip closer to normal for that restaurant.  So, if I take up a table to eat alone, and choose something cheap.  Or if I take my kid out and he eats from the kid's menu and I just have water (this happened sometimes when we traveled as I get motion sickness and don't want dinner), I'll pay a tip that would be enough for 2 regular meals.  I don't care about the "social expectation".  I pay so that my server, who did nothing wrong, goes home with the same level of pay they would if they got the customer before or after me.
