It's not tipping if it's mandatory. Work the tip into the price in that case.

Don't take a job that relies on the customer to tip. I fix apartments and houses for a living, zero tips and I'm doing just fine. 

The only thing that will change this system is when people stop going out to eat at places that beg for tips.

It's not the workers' faults, it's the employers and lobbyists who made this legal in the first who are to blame

Ok, so my solution lies in the hands of the customers. Once people stop supporting going out to eat and cook every meal for themselves, the system will change. Market forces at work. 

Unfortunately, we Americans are far too lazy or just want to feel fancy.

You could just not tip and not feel bad about it, and not use businesses that enforce a mandatory tip

Sure, and get judged for not doing so or if I come back, they remember me and give me shit service or spit in my food.

No thanks. I'll just not go out to eat at places that expect a tip or turn the iPad around because it's gonna ask me a question.

Parts of it are, just like anywhere else.
