I tip when I go to places that expect tips because my stiffing individual wait staff isn’t going to change anything. If I was going to ‘protest’ I would just boycott sit down restaurants. At this point I only go if someone else really wants to.
There are tons of place to get good food that doesn’t involve tipping and I can just make food at home too. Counter service restaurants might have a pity jar for tips, but the business is still paying their staff and not expecting 95% of wages to come from that jar.

I do the same today… I am just wondering if the same amount of choices was available in 1900 (which I doubt)

Today? hmmm I disagree
and I can just make food at home too
Absolutely which is what I do but again, not everybody is like us.
People were able to make food at home or get food from places that didn’t involve sitting down and making tiped wait staff serve someone for free in 1900.
You don’t have fast food, counter service locations, street vendors, or any of the other food sources that don’t involve sitting down and being served by someone whose primary income comes from tips?

Really? I had no idea but I guess you are an expert?

Honestly no, every one of those ask for tips now here in Canada.
Is it the vast majority of their income like wait staff in the US?
No? Then tipping is optional there and has nothing to do with what Trotsky did which was in the US when 100% of their income came from tips or current US waitstaff where the vast majority of their income still comes from tips.
where would you go to as a protest against tipping? where do they not force you to tip?
