Yea, the thing I don't get about the "if I don't tip the workers will unionize" crowd is that they can just not go to tipping establishments or just eat takeout. You don't have to basically steal labor from the workers. If you think "them making less money is better for the market" then just don't make them work for you and refuse to pay what is expected. Boycotting tipping establishments would help, but that doesn't get people free/less expensive stuff so they don't do that.
Even if I take them in the best faith possible, they're just exploiting the workers themselves and blaming the workers for their exploitation. In that situation they basically take the place of the bosses saying "if you want a raise go work somewhere else".
I also hate tipping culture, but it's so rude to go to another country (during a rise in fascism no less!) and act like by not following their norms you're having any effect on the culture other than making yourself look like bad.
