Being rewarded instantly for hard work is satisfying and encourages that behaviour.
Air traffic controllers, computer technicians, and specialized type of electronics work, carpenters, welders, etc.
They might not be as "mentally challenging" as waiting tables, which I would think isn't that much, but they require A LOT more skill and craftsmanship.
And the skill difference varies a lot more in jobs where lots of skill is needed. The only aspect of a waiter that I could see a skill difference in besides hustle, would be how well they are off socially with customers. By your logic then, every company and service would be better off being tip based, so every employee could be judged instantly depending on their skill.
