> 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.

Are you just referring to the default options? Am I the only one who always just goes for custom, 0%?

Anyway that's not the cost, that's post everything so including tax.
