Let's take an honest look.

These are hard back breaking low wage jobs where you are on your feet constantly. We exect perfection from their performances but somehow we dont want to pay them for it

I always tip housekeeping when I stay in a hotel. A line cook, grocery store clerk, etc know what money to expect when they take a job. Waitresses normally don't. Although, i did hear on the radio the other day that Tipflation is a thing now and people are starting to tip less because cost's are so high. Also, people feel tipped to death. Everyone wants a tip. Ok, not everyone but you get the picture. 

How I tip:

Waitress/Waitor
Barber/hair-dresser
delivery drivers
Bartender
Concessions vendors (Ex. PBS)
kids selling stuff door to door for school
The mailman (Christmas time)
Strippers
Housekeepers
Pastor
Anybody who sells me a winning lottery ticket
Cows
And a finger to people who cut me off on the highway.

I'm sure there's more, but all are tipped on quality of service. Well, except the last two. I just tip those for fun.
