If you feel so strongly about this, the only thing to do is to completely avoid establishments that don’t pay their workers fair wages without tips.
If you go to a standard US restaurant and pay money for the food but do not tip, you are supporting the employer whose practice you claim to oppose while harming the employees you claim to support.

No repercussions FOR YOU, maybe. The servers and their families will bear the repercussions of your decision.

If you agree, then I would recommend deleting this post and making a new LPT about supporting businesses who pay their employees ethically. Because your post does not send that message.
