If everyone went to Uni/college who would do these jobs, for our own needs we need to have people in these jobs, so we need to look after them, poverty and inequality is the main cuase of social issues in any country which cost society huge resources to cope with, why not get to the cause and get people a decent wage even if it costs more up front it will save us big in the long run
I live in Australia where we have a minimum wage, we almost never do tipping, people have a future no matter what happened to them, and society doesnt have to pay the consequences of all the social issues that's created by poverty
We all benefit long term by giving people a living wage
