See my edit above about the tipping system basically just being a "dick discount". By tipping, you're just subsidizing the service or product cost of people who don't tip. If there's 10 orders, and 7 people tip $5, that's $35. I'd rather Amazon just pay the employees and spread that $35 cost among all 10 customers, rather then penalize the tippers. Of course in reality, Amazon wouldn't pay a whole $35, they'd pay much less, which is the whole reason corporations love the tipping culture, it saves them money.
