Except many other industries don't have tipping and the price of labor is just built into the cost.

  That's not a counter to anything tptacek listed?
  • notfromhere 4y ago
    You can take it the other way and tip literally every profession.
    • tptacek 4y ago
      You can. It's a system that makes more sense for some occupations and less for others, but plenty of occupations besides hospitality are routinely tipped. You tip your hotel housekeepers, don't you?

        Why would you assume that? When I worked as a housekeeper, few left tips. And I do not see why they would need to.

        Excuse me, in what way are hotel housekeepers not in hospitality industry?
      • notfromhere 4y ago
        Why not just pay people their wage rather than ask customers to decide if that person is worthy of making money today
