Tipping culture is capitalists telling workers it's their fault for not making enough money. It's true though, because workers don't organize nearly enough to change the culture. People should stick up for themselves and their fellow employees and demand a better wage and benefits.

Capitalize the profits and socialize the losses

And then have the media (Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest especially) tell everybody that yes, tipping everybody everywhere is the new normal and we need to get used to it.

I've gotten into so many arguments on Facebook with people who tip their mechanics and doctors. People are eating this shit up.
