I havent read many of the replies, so I might be repeating whats already been said.
Bottom line: If I know a restaurant is doing this, I'm not going there. Sounds like a restaurant trying to further shunt the cost of staffing onto the customers.
It's not that I don't want to tip, as I pretty much always will, but your tip is never guaranteed, nor should it be. It's entirely contigent upon the service I receive.
If you get a low/zero tip from me, it's because you screwed up, and its for you to reflect on why. I shouldnt have to prolong an already unenjoyable experience explaining to you, what you likely already know. I'm there as a customer, not to train your staff.
