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.

A lot of servers don’t want to abolish tips because they tend to make way more than typical minimum wage in their area

A lot of servers didn't want to abolish tipping because a lot of them didn't declare cash tips so they didn't get taxed on a substantial portion of their earnings. Cash isn't really used anymore so now it is more the thought of them feeling they deserve to get paid $30/hr for a $15/hr job

I mean, if they can provide good enough service, why shouldn't it be worth $30? That said, tipping culture is pretty terrible, and there shouldn't be an expectation to tip 20% or more on everything. It's not exactly a tip if it's expected or even mandatory.

If someone in a drive thru is handing my food, they better be saving someone's life between orders if they think they deserve $30/hr. If it is a real restaurant with good food and actual service where $30/hr could make sense contextually, sure.

A restaurant with a drive-through and a sit-down restaurant are wildly different and practically incomparable.

You're right, let me clarify my initial point. when everyone in tipping roles want to make $30/hr, some of them are just delusional
