If people are allowed to be paid significantly less than minimum wage and HAVE TO declare tips they don't even get for tax purposes, i would say there is respnisiblity to tip unless service is very bad for some reason. I used to work in a resteraunt, and now that i can afford to, i tip servers very well. Whether or not you do or what your standards are is your busniess. But encouraging people to have the mindset that tipping is optional when you know for a fact that the prices on food are lower BASED ON THE PREMISE that you are going to tip your server is crap. Do what you want, but dont enoucrage this kind of behavior.
