Your point is like saying if you refuse to pay for a meal then you didn’t get it for free because other people paid for their food. It is like saying that not paying overtime is fine because because they get their base wage.
Your ‘technically they get minimum wage’ ignores the whole point of tipping being tied directy to the service being provided that I was trying to point out it was fundamentally incorrect.
The difference, of course, being that tipping is optional (because the server still gets paid either way, by law), and that in all of the other cases the person has no other avenue to ensure that they receive compensation for their labor. Whether it’s an asshole move or not is irrelevant to your assertion that you force servers to perform free labor by not tipping them, which is factually incorrect, as detailed above.
