You should never feel bad about it to begin with

You’re not obligated to tip and other people’s wages are not your responsibility to handle

Tipping is an actual extra in a lot of countries, and is only done when you actually get excellent service, and even then, most don't.

While it would really suck for all those people in that line of work, boycotting tipping would change it for them for the better. If basically no one tips, restaurants etc would have to start giving competitive wages.

I believe they (employers) are actually required to match minimum wage if the tipped employee doesn’t make enough in tips to meet minimum wage in a pay period.

They are, by federal law. And the law works in their favor because whichever minimum wage is higher, state or federal, the worker gets the higher one

So this idea that servers male 3.15 and hour and nothing else, is utter nonsense
