> If you don't like to tip, there are plenty of restaurants where tipping isn't expected; specifically those where you carry the food yourself from the counter to your table.

Generally such restaurants serve significantly different kinds of food, and are typically lower quality. You can't expect these kinds of restaurants (typically fast food, food trucks, buffet food, etc.) to out-compete restaurants that they are hardly even competing with in the first place (e.g. fancier sit-down restaurants).

Plenty of people simply choose not to eat at those sort of restaurants. If this is an issue you feel strongly about, it is within your power to choose not to eat at restaurants with waitresses. Such restaurants are a luxury you choose to indulge in.
