Can an industry insider confirm this tracking? Interesting take, thank you. I hadn’t considered the privacy implications of tipping.

I’m no industry insider, but tipping would seem to me to be a key indicator for discretionary spending, so a very valuable data point. I have no doubt that a dataset of 1m clients and their tipping patterns would be worth >500k per client (dataset user). A list of consistent, large or skimpy tippers significantly more. (Skimpy so as to know to target them with “deals”, big tippers for the upsell and value added advertising.
E.g. Uber / UberEats offer lower fairs to drivers if the client is expected to tip higher. I'm not an insider, but it can be observed in the wild as discussed on Reddit.
