There are issues with tip pooling, but there's one thing that I am absolutely sure of: my tip was not intended for the person's employer, and certainly not for anyone who claims to have arranged for the work to be done by a nominally self-employed contractor.

There's the crux. People may or may not think that their tip is going into a pool, but people definitely do not think that their tip is them saying to the establishment itself "I wish you'd charged me more!"
