If you don’t want to tip in a country where tipping is the norm when eating at a restaurant. Then don’t eat out, it is as simple as that.
If you want to change the laws so they get paid a living wage fine. But don’t short the worker who is just doing their job expecting to be paid. That just makes you an asshole.
Coming from a country where tipping is not the norm and knowingly refusing to tip in places where tipping is the norm also makes you an asshole.
Mr. Pink sees through the emotional extortion.
Absolutely relevant and hilarious timing for me because I’ve seen the following vid only yesterday:
It’s about mister Pink as the smartest guy in the room.
If you live in a backward country, the federal minimum wage for servers might be as low as $2.13 an hour.
That’s called a scam in most places.

Going from a country where tipping isn’t common to one where it is you realize quickly that tipping is a scam. People should be paid a living wage and tipping should be something that happens from time to time as one wants, not some make or break financial decision for the worker. It creates this awful tension where it’s never enough. 5% wasn’t enough so it became 10% then 15% now 20% now 30% or even 40% and so on. How long until anything short of a 100% tip is seen as disrespectful?
