That's nice of you but objectively the tip actually is for rewarding great service. If Amazon sent you half a book would you value the half they sent you and be grateful? And here's a tip for you Jeff.

Ostensibly the tip is about service. Realistically the tip is about "doing your part" to give service workers a reasonable wage. Is it a terrible system? Sure. But let's not pretend.

The tip is for underwriting the livelihood of people who work in a terrible industry that does not pay them a livable wage. Yeah, it's not your fault that the economics of the food service industry work like this in the United States, but that doesn't mean you can ignore them.
