Like for example if you think these jobs are essential, that has a whole different moral angle to it than if you think they are superfluous. Also not sure how utilitarians would rank this essential benefit as it likely doesn't apply to the majority of customers. Also if you believe in division of labor, then how is tipping and minimum wage moral? And if rich people want to give away money, why let people work for it rather than donating? | |

They may not be physically capable, or intellectually capable, or have the skill set, to do X. Or they may believe that a division of labour is beneficial to society. Or those "rich assoles" as you put it might like to share their wealth by spending it, instead of hoarding it. | |
