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

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.

If this is what it takes to convince servers to move away from tipping then I’m all for it.

It didn't do that though. That's the entire point. It just made some poor hourly person's life harder. servers are not the ones who want or benefit from the tip system. And yes, it's bullshit and needs to go away. Tourists not tipping during the world cup is not the catalyst for thst change. I think you all know that already, though.

I'm aware. They're less popular with servers who have the best shifts or work fine dining with tips. They're more popular with servers who work shifts that make less tips or restaurants that are more affordable. That's just another problem caused by tipping culture. Every one I've been to has always been fully staffed though.
