A hypothetical proposal:

Tip a server an amount, such that if everyone tipped the amount you did, he/she would receive what you estimate to be a fair wage.

Examples.

A McDonalds worker makes minimum wage. If you don't tip, you are assessing that fair wage for a McDonalds workers is minimum wage.

A bartender at a busy nightclub makes minimum wage. He works 8 hours (including cleanup/prep), and lets estimate that he pours 400 drinks for people over the night. If you tip him $1/drink, you're estimating a fair wage for a bartender is ~$50/hour.
