Tipping in America was always something extra, it was a reward, an incentive for a worker to do their job well. Tipping was never designed or intended to replace wages, nor should it have. Giving a tip was like telling an employee "Thank you for taking care of me, I appreciate your attentive work and that you went beyond your jobs minimum expectations in taking care of me."
