Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

You're going to get banned from a bunch of restaurants then. Anywhere worth eating enforces tipping. Some of them have it already included in the bill.
I understand your frustration but that's going to add far more stress to your trip, will result in servers being underpaid, and could result in the police being called if you refuse to pay a tip that's already included on the bill.
I'd like to see that in court.
Sure thing buddy. Here you go. As for the charges sticking? Who cares? You just got arrested on holiday.
Because we care about profits more than we care about people.
Then I'll turn around and counter-sue the restaurant, and make the restaurant owner's life a living hell for the rest of their life. Maybe they'll even end up on the street after their house gets taken from them.
Counter sue what? They aren't sueing you and they didn't arrest you. The legal advice to restaurants is to have the police come even for removing people because that shifts the legal liability.
You can't just make it up. The courts will dismiss your car and charge you money for the pleasure.
Absolutely no establishments are going to ban a customer for not tipping.
I've seen it happen.
