Base pay for service workers has not increased in decades, local rules aside, while the cost of living has gone up a lot.

I always tip the highest amount NO MATTER WHAT, because I've had to survive on minimum wage and the kindness of strangers, and I'm well paid now.

Tipping is racist, classist, and should not be a part of core wages. By engaging in any debate about the value of a person's work, you are perpetuating this elitist system.
