If tipping isn't really for service, what IS is it for?? (hint ; it serves the same purpose as a "thank you" card you sent to Grandma for the Christmas sweater she sent you as a child.)

You are one of the few who continues to insist tipping is not for the service received.
Different prices based on the car I drive? Yes, different car wash choices based on the value I put on the car I drive and the service I expect from the car wash. I would make a different choice for my new Audi than I would for my ten year old Toyota and I would expect to pay different prices.
Price a meal based on the clothes you wear? Not the same at all. Though I might expect to pay more for the nicer clothes than for the more casual clothes.
At a more expensive restaurant I expect a higher quality of food as well as a higher quality of service. I expect the chef has had more training or more experience and therefore deserves more compensation. I expect the servers to have more training or more experience and therefore deserve a higher compensation. I may be more critical in my tipping decision at the more expensive restaurant due to those expectations.
