Period

There you go again, back to the either or argument.

Employers should definitely 100% have to pay a living wage. Period. Full stop.

You not wanting to tip someone who provided you with exemplary service is your problem and yours alone. Period. Full stop.

These two things are only related in that the sleaze ball restaurant franchises lobbied that because tipping exists they shouldn't have to pay a living wage and you now argue that they should have to pay a living wage so you don't have to tip. Both of you are stuck in this zero sum mindset. They should have to pay a decent living wage and you should own up to the fact that you're obviously an unwilling and disingenuous tipper.
