Not explicit at all if it's optional though is it?

I don't see what optionality has to do with anything.

> tipping is in general a system that shifts some of the employer's costs to customers explicitly

it's not explicit because no one knows what the total cost is that's being shifted to the consumer and how much of that is recouped by tipping.

Sure they do. It's 15-25% of the cost.
