Do people actually consciously make a judgement about quality of service when they tip??!

I always just mindlessly add 15-20%. So the whole "tipping incentivizes quality of service" argument has always seemed unrealistic to me.

I tip within the range of 15-25% by quality of service.

It's a useful feedback mechanism even if I'm just one data point and it's not widely adopted by everyone. You're doing your part to align incentives with the outcomes you hope to get. Kind of like voting.
