If you don’t want to tip in a country where tipping is the norm when eating at a restaurant. Then don’t eat out, it is as simple as that.
If you want to change the laws so they get paid a living wage fine. But don’t short the worker who is just doing their job expecting to be paid. That just makes you an asshole.
Coming from a country where tipping is not the norm and knowingly refusing to tip in places where tipping is the norm also makes you an asshole.
While I agree that you shouldn’t short the worker, it also shouldn’t be the customers responsibility to pay extra for the worker. Your argument kind of goes out the window when you look at other jobs where people also get paid minimum wage, but don’t get tips. Why should waiters/waitresses get tips when others don’t? Does the chef not deserve tips too? What about the busser?
