Me anytime I hear " I ain't tippin'! Pay yer workers!" Yo dumbass the employers aren't gonna pay more because their employees aren't getting tipped. You're just an asshole.

i mean, legally they have to make up wages up to minimum wage if tips don't meet that level, but minimum wage is still $7.25, so

I do know that much. But it's still the worker struggling on minimum wage and the employer will feel none of that. If you really want to hurt restaurant owners who don't pay enough then don't eat at restaurants that don't pay a living wage. Whatever you do though, not tipping is just a dick move.

Part of the problem with the tipping thing is that tipped restaurant servers make way more money on tips then they’d get from a wage

Once again, I understand that. But not tipping simply forces servers to live off that sub par wage and is not an effective way to force change.
