I believe you missed the point entirely. Pay people properly for the work they do and a verbal "Thank you" (acknowledgement and appreciation) should be all that is expected. Giving people money for doing their job (tipping) is demeaning. Both to the server and the customer. Food service is honorable work and deserves fair payment, not "tips" like an organ grinders monkey tipping his hat for coins. It's a bribe. It's a scam.
