I was once in a restaurant in Edmonton that did this mandatory tip, and the server announced it as we were given menus. She simply said "blah blah Also please note on the menu that there is a mandatory gratuity charge that will be factored into your bill..." then she made a joke about us not having to tip that was actually quite funny I wish I could remember it now..

Anyway, she told us ahead of time, there was no problem paying the full bill, while I do not agree with mandatory gratuity the fact that she announced it was reason enough for me to pay it.
