AFAIK baristas start at the normal minimum wage, but servers get that crazy low tipped minimum wage.

I think you're right, but as far as I'm concerned, it's irrelevant. It is not my responsibility as a customer to make sure someone's employees get paid adequately. That's the responsibility of their employer. If they can't afford to run their business while paying their workers appropriately, then I'm really sorry your goals didn't work out, but you're running a failed business and just haven't admitted it yet.

We all do what we can. When I'm doing carry out, No way am i going to tip for a non tipped position.

If I'm eating out in a society where servers depend on tips by law basically, i didn't have to eat out, so I'm going to pay what's expected of me.

Sure, I do the same thing. I just opt to do that significantly less often than I might otherwise. At least for my service, it has cost restaurants far more than it has saved them on labor.
