Does tipping people help you get a shiny Pokemon?

Question

People have been telling me that if you tip people every time you can get a shiny Pokemon.Is this true?

Answer 1

There is no secure answer as this cannot be proved easily, but I think that it may be true as multiple sources of the internet say so. I don't have any idea why this would happen though.
Tipping = Shiny?

I tip people all the time and I never get shinies. But I'm terrible at getting shinies, I've only ever found a Shiny Bidoof and a Shiny Zubat my whole Pokemon life. :P
