I would agree except for the fact that tips have been found to largely not correlate with performance. http://freakonomics.com/2012/12/28/do-we-really-tip-based

  I totally agree that there is a tremendous amount of variance in what people actually tip (in the case of the valet, it can literally depend on the amount and denominations of the cash in one's pocket), but I think it does matter in tail cases, and I would hazard that the providers of the service know this as well...at least providing incentive not to be awful or to be excellent (for those so inclined)

  That link doesn't provide any facts to back up your claim. As someone who has worked in the food industry, tipping is definitely correlated with performance (among a couple other obvious factors).

    Yep, sorry about not good link. Here is better one: http://www.tippingresearch.com/uploads/managing_tips.pdf http://www.tippingresearch.com/uploads/managing_tips.pdf Yes, there is a correlation, but it is extremely weak.
