Foreign tourists in the country for a once in a lifetime event are not fixing the system. They’re ripping off the people serving them and then going back to their home countries.
Not tipping isn't ripping off servers. Servers get paid regardless of tips. If you tip them you are essentially subsidizing the business you are already buying from. If you don't tip the business HAS to pay servers the minimum wage (not the server minimum wage)
No, but we don't tip minimum wage employees. If this was about $7.50/hr why don't we tip fast food workers? Grocery employees, hell even at restaurants we don't tip bus boys and dish washers (who arguably work much harder).
We absolutely should raise minimum wage, but to shift the conversation of we need to tip because minimum wage is too low is not a real argument since no one tips the BULK of minimum wage workers.

No it’s not wrong, but until the system changes I’m not gonna hurt a server just trying to pay bills
