It's not "fuck the working class" it's a matter of trying to encourage people to stop accepting a shit wage in return for a perceived benefit that doesn't actually manifest for most of them.

Ideally we would have a law changing things but we can't even get a decent update to the regular minimum wage much less an alteration to the way servers are paid. So, hypothetically, if we were to collectively agree to stop giving in to the pressure to pay tips as a mediocre compensation for employers not paying a decent wage, people may stop taking those jobs and seek employment with places that pay decent hourly instead.

Again, all of this is basically a thought experiment since no one is going to do any of this. But hey, if tips stop being lavish enough to live on just naturally due to a reaction to inflation, that might spur a change as well.
