You raise good points , there are automatic experiences that don’t involve employees that prompt for a tip. I also recently received a tip option for something I ordered on line.
I agree who exactly is getting these tips?
Robot service is also becoming more popular…do robots get the same tip percentage?

Agree with you here, my local favorite establishments that have had the same staff for years who know what I like and how I like it, makes my experience better… I will often, with pleasure, reflect that in their tip.
Btw the wages of one of those waiters is just shy of 200k per year (maybe more if the cash tips are included). Average meal at the restaurant for 2 is less than 200 with wine.
