He’s not American. People in Europe get a somewhat liveable wage that doesn’t rely on tips.
They did make that pretty clear! If they weren't going to tip or their tip doesn't matter, then holding out doesn't matter either. If their tip was going to matter, then they've screwed over the employee and not the employer at all.
If you are upholding tipping culture you are literally part of the reason as to why they need tips.
You change tipping culture by applying pressure to business owners, not to employees.
