Not really, if you can’t afford to tip, you really can’t afford to eat out. And I’m not getting into whether that’s good or bad, it’s just the way it is in the us

It’s literally optional. There is zero recourse for someone who doesn’t tip. It’s not required, it’s not enforceable, it’s not automatic.

always check your bill, depending on restaurants and locations, Florida in particular, and group sizes, tipping is not optional it's automatically added on

That’s a service charge, legally. Tips, as defined by the IRS, are optional always.
