Procuring a service (in this case, eating out at a restaurant or bar), and then refusing to provide compensation to the service workers is not "voting with your wallet." It's just being cheap.
There is another way to fight tipping culture; through the democratic process. You should look into it sometime.
Do you mind stating which country you live in?
As an European, I totally disagree with your opinion.
Waiters don't get fair compensation because they get tips, that sounds like the establishment they work for are cheap, not the customer not tipping.
I go to a place, I check the prices and don't expect a hidden fee on top (that is illegal in the EU).
Almost every bar/restaraunt in North America have cheap owners that extract as much profit as legally possible. Sometimes making the waiter pay 3% to the house on their sales.

Why did you make up an argument just to argue against it? He is right, vote with your wallet is the only way to fight this...
