No one has articulated why that should be the consumers problem beyond a bleeding heart that doesn't address its not required.
You feeling compelled to tip doesn't change its a mindset that is not actually required.
Continuously telling people the bleeding heart story of why you think tipping is important doesn't change its not actually required of the consumer to tip. It's literally promoting a system that hopes someone feels generous to pay extra.
Your personal reasons why you think tipping is great is irrelevant.
The onus is 100% on the company. If you wish to tip, then go ahead and tip, but it's not my responsibility to tip. Its not my responsibility to make sure tipped workers make more than the grocery store cashier. It is not my responsibility to change a 100% voluntary system that people like you seem to also love.
Just don't complain when your food gets to you cold. You could have tipped but chose not to, putting you at a disadvantage against people that do tip.
