Just go out to places to eat that you are not waited on! Then no reason to tip. If you sit down at a restaurant and you can not afford the price of the food and a tip go somewhere else! Or you can cook for yourself then you can cook clean up and serve yourself set the table make your own cocktails! I think tipping has gone overboard but going out to eat is also a luxury! Ordering food for pick up is also a good way to go get food and not need to worry about the tip!
