Perhaps that would work if everyone did it. This would require a lot of organization, some kind of massive anti-tipping movement across our entire society, in order for it to work.

In the absence of such a social movement, the actual effect of not tipping is that you benefit and your waiter suffers. So, I guess the question is—are your actions to not tip waiters coordinated with a movement of other people with the goal of achieving change? Or are you simply cheap, and looking for a way to feel good about it?
