I would assume going to a standard 16% would actually hurt the servers. I generally tip more than that for good service and I'd imagine a lot of people do. I would imagine the amount of people that would now be tipping 16% wouldn't make up for the loss of people who already tipped more. Also, as someone said, if Earl's is administering this, these servers are now going to get taxed on 100% of their tips. I would assume Earl's will need to add it to their T4s.
