I see a lot of this as a logical extension of your toxic tipping culture. For many jobs, a large part of income is already based on the hustle for tips. Every interaction is a transaction.
Australia is partially along the same path, though our strong anti-tipping culture (we have a reputation as poor tippers overseas) helps resist it.
Still, living in Norway was a great alternative perspective - where everyone in a regular job was paid a living wage, and the hustle was really only on the very outskirts of society rather than sewn right through it.
