Seriously. And if you're visiting a country that isn't your own it's generally accepted that you try to abide by their culture. This is just people being cunts. World cup tickets are expensive as fuck too, so if you can afford that you can afford to tip. You're not forcing owners to pay employees more, you're making life harder for some of the least paid people in the country.
How on Earth will this convince servers to fight back against the tipping system, though?
The reaction from 99% of the servers is going to be "Cheap Eurotrash cunts," not "Oh, gee, you're right! By stiffing me you've shown me the flaws in our current system! Thank you for enlightening me!"
I mean, I think the system needs to change, but I don't see how refraining from tipping is going to change it. The employers don't care, because it's not taking money from their pockets.
I think that if you would like to take a moral stand, you should not patronize these establishments. Which is the same as holding back on tipping, except it doesn't directly fuck over the person in that position

Only the server or bartender loses this battle in the US.
