Tip heavy, if you can afford it, and lament how annoying the whole system is over a drink with friends.
If you really hate it actually take political action (vote, protest, etc.).
The city council overturned it because of lobbying from the restaurant industry. Also, a minority of servers who make far, far above minimum wage (like 70k/year) because of tips were heavily against it. Note that the referendum said nothing at all about eliminating tipping, it was just about providing a fair wage for everyone.
So, the political route doesn't work. If we want to end tipping, stop tipping. If people who work jobs that depend on tips don't like that, they can negotiate with their employers for a fair wage, you know like every other job in the world does. Employers and employees are the two relevant parties who need to be involved in wage negotiations. Leave the customers out of it.
Quite the contrary. Not tipping is the best way to change the system. Those people most affected by it only agree to work for poor wages because they know tipping will make up for it. If tips evaporated overnight then employers would have to pay more to keep those employees.
