The whole concept of mandatory tipping is bullshit anway.
One -- nobody tells me how to tip or how much, period. I decide that.
Two -- 15-20% is CUSTOMARY, not MANDATORY... it is in poor taste and bad manners to short on the tip, but that only applies when the service was good.
Three -- Whenever I find myself inside a restaurant that does have mandatory tipping, the service better be worth it, or I will never go back there and will never recommend the place to others.
Four -- Just because a restaurant puts some text on a menu that says a certain amount is mandatory for a tip, how does that automatically make something legally binding? I should start putting "Paypal me a $10 tip for the good service provided by this website" on all my sites. Obviously it would then be the law, and anyone not sending me that tip could also be prosecuted, right?
