That's exactly right. However, in a world of $15/hour entry level workers retail is going to be forced to do more of this, not less. I'm still waiting to see what $15/hour's impact on tipping is going to be. My wife never made much more than this herself at the banking/financial jobs she's held, and as she says no one ever tipped her!
