Agree whole heartedly. If I sat down and saw the "you will be automatically charged a 14% tip for this meal" sign, I'd be back in the parking lot before the server brought my cutlery.
I sort of understand what you're saying driveway, but isn't the purpose of a service job to try and entice your employees to give better service? I see the automatic tipping policy leading to complacency by the staff. Sure, maybe not right away, but when in essence you are shaming patrons to "be the bad guy" and explain away a tip, what real incentive still lies there to really do a good job? Of course barring the good employee, I'm making generalisations, you know what I mean.
