I doubt that lawn mowing people get $4.77 per hour from their employer.

Tipping servers is an incentive for them to do more than just the minimum to get a plate of food onto the table and leave it at that. It's an incentive to stop in at the table a variable number of times, to clear away used dishes, refill water and coffee, take added drink orders, find out if food and drink is satisfactory, take added orders for desserts, and keep the table clean and tidy, etc. It's an incentive for productivity and service that does not disrupt the customers' dining time so they don't have to get up and find a person to resolve problems or order more.
