Dude, performance-related pay is not our concern. People should just be paid. I think you need to step back and consider why you're so obsessed with _judging_ people in addition to them being paid? Now, if you're American, you might have a bit of unlearning to do in order to contemplate that freely because you've been told all your life that "customer service" is so important. But put that aside; why do you want to judge people and be involved in their performance-related pay? What even makes you qualified to do such a thing?

If I'm not the one qualified to judge if the care I received from a doctor, taxi driver, or barber is satisfactory, who is? You still haven't answered that. I don't agree with PIP culture, but if the alternative is a normalized culture of paying people just for showing up, with no incentive to be helpful, then no thanks - I think that's how we've ended up with criminally ineffective "customer service" lines we deal with today. Yes, how much care and concern, and the result of your efforts, should matter. Is what I just wrote an American-only viewpoint?

  Taxi driverand barber are less clear, but think about doctor: we’re not qualified to evaluate doctors. Sure there’s the human touch side of their work but in general specialists need to be evaluated by specialists in their field. And I think it’s rather presumptuous for you to think that taxi driving table waiting etc are so trivial that you know how to evaluate them.

    Were my needs fulfilled? It's really quite an easy analysis - one I don't trust others to handle for me. Because, no, the current, say, medical system is not sufficient to have provided me with adequate specialists. The current barber licensing situation, not sufficient to have provided with me all good barbers. and yes, I have had, and known, shitty, dangerous cab/Uber drivers. I've never said they were trivial. Please don't project. No, quite the opposite! It's so important, the only judge that matters is the person receiving the care.

      You just have this absurd American belief that the world will be improved by you evaluating people and paying them accordingly. Like most absurd American beliefs (like that members of the public should carry guns) the falseness of it can easily be established by looking to see what proportion of other cultures around the world do it also.
