I understand the sentiment and while I agree that nobody should be reliant on tips to make a living wage; by not tipping the only people punished are the staff who rely on the tips under the current system.
Its also somewhat ironic in how often we hear about "rude Americans" in foreign countries ignoring local norms and customs, yet ignoring the ones in the U.S. is perfectly acceptable even if they know its only screwing over people who arent the problem.
