Basically, it's the best way to ensure excellent customer service. The quality of customer service can only be effectively judged by the customer being as it's completely subjective, and a tip is essentially a rating. The tip serves as a direct incentive for the server to do everything within his power to up that rating. Compare going to a coffee shop vs going to a 7/11. Warm smile, eye contact, small conversation, empathy... Practically speaking, it's the simplest way to get a great customer service experience, people get to pay what the want for it, employers can get away with lower prices, workers end up getting paid a decent amount for their skills. Win win win win win win winI never quite understood what the point of tipping was.
