Wouldn’t sharing tips ruin the whole incentive for good service argument as well?

Tips being an incentive for good service would violate causality. In reality, waiters get higher tips for being white and attractive, which isn't exactly unexpected given the racist crap mentioned in the article.

Part of the service is cooking your food, right?

No, sharing tips with the kitchen is Very Rare. If you’re tipping straight into the kitchen, then your money might do something, but who tips into the kitchen?
