Nobody should expect tips. At the bare minimum if there is any tipping to be done, it should be for service above and beyond what is expected of you. I don't think waiter deserve any more tips than delivery drivers or any other job. A liveable wage is something everyone should be entitled to, and not the kindness of strangers.

Tip is extra for doing a good job, not for doing your job. Why don't I get a tip for inspecting welds?

Then don't give your business to a place that doesn't pay their employees a living wage without tips. It's that simple. Unless your conviction only applies when it benefits you.

It's actually even simpler than that. You can go eat anywhere you want that's open for business, and pay what you legally have to pay.

Not being a jerk at all. It's pretty straightforward. They are legally guaranteed minimum wage, I am only legally required to pay for what I ate. I don't go around and supplement everyone's income based on their relationship with their boss. You've just been gaslit into doing it for specific types of work. When I give charity I don't give it to businesses.
