Tell them. Or is that too obvious? Tell the staff and/or the manager/owner.

Don't you worry that this puts them into a position of subservience to you.
I find it degrading, both to me as tipper and to the person who's serving.
People should do their best because it is a matter of self respect, not
because they hope to get a bigger tip.
