ITT.
I love the scene where a group of sociopathic murders are all shocked at how scummy someone has to be to deprive a waitress of her wages, as if it’s justified because the owner doesn’t pay her either.

It is absolutely justified. Businesses are able to pay employees, it’s just more profitable to move that burden onto customers.
Result? Customers pay more, and workers don’t have a stable income. The only winning party is a business.
By tipping, you help the worker short-term, but aid in proliferating a system that makes it so much worse for them.
That’s why I love cultures where tipping isn’t just uncommon, but is flat out rejected, because workers are paid well and are proud of it.

That’s wonderful in cultures where that already exists.
For the waitress though, because of your “morals”, she’s choosing between rent and food.
