Workers should be paid a fair wage from the start and tipping shouldn't be necessary. That much is true.

But when he knows that the system is the way it is, refusing to tip and trying to convince others not to tip isn't helping those workers get paid. That's being a dick.

It could also be argued that you are perpetuating the system by playing along, which is also a dick move.

So don't go to that restaurant, and let everyone know why. Continuing to go and not tipping is just exploitation
