To be very clear, I sympathize with people who are stuck working a shitty job. That being said, the consumer does not have to give handouts to companies in order to pay employees. If people cannot survive off of wages being paid, they will most likely find a different job. Capitalism and the free market and all that jazz. Hit corpos in the only place they care about, their bottom line.
I'll tip regardless.
There are a lot of reasons why this doesn't hold up. The first and foremost is that transitioning jobs requires savings. The way I see it, my tips are going to help them cross the hurdle to a better job when they get sick of this one. If I withhold my financial support from my working peers, I'm only aiding the employer as their staff remains precariously positioned.
