I find that people who have never worked in the industry have a much different view on tipping than people that have. A lot of things to consider, but I voted no.
Tips work just fine without a mandatory requirement from everybody. It all evens out for the servers in the end, and they make VERY good money in most places. If you have a server that isn't making money, maybe it's time to take a look at WHY they're not making tips. Guaranteed it's not the clientele.
If your customers aren't already tipping an average of 14%, then you're not in the type of restaurant that would survive a "mandatory tip" policy anyway.
