Anyone could and many, even professors, have. Just pick a basic premise and go for it.
Tipping. What do you think of it? Pro or con? Good or bad? Harmful or helpful? Personally, I believe it is ultimately harmful. Arbitrary, inflationary, manipulative, unfair across the industry, psychological/emotional blackmail, etc.
Oh, just because I do it doesn’t mean I don't recognize it for what it is. A very successful scam that we (yes! Me too) all participate in and support, justify and defend. OK, I don't justify or defend it. The rest of the world can get along without it, so could we.
