From https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/why-do-we-tip https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/why-do-we-tip > I think that there are five basic motives for tipping. Some people tip to show off. Some people tip to help the server, to supplement their income and make them happy. Some people tip to get future service. And then other people tip to avoid disapproval: You don’t want the server to think badly of you. And some people tip out of a sense of duty. So, it is complicated. The part about the owner to avoid paying their workers properly is a consequence of the tipping culture, not a cause.
