This is the market applying a band-aid to a structural problem of low wages for service workers. If I am at Whistler at a liquor store, I tip the cashier because I know that the cost of living there is the most expensive in the world. The housing situation is horrendous. I wish that the minimum wage was $25/hr and we didn't have to do this, but it isn't so I tip.
