My point is that lazy servers should be held accountable by their employers, not by the customer. Good management wouldn't tolerate a lazy server. I don't appreciate being put in a position where I have to make that kind of choice.

Folding the tip into the cost of the meal also chips away at the false class system that's created in the restaurant business. Any server can falsify the amount of cash they receive from tips and withhold their share to the kitchen staff. Mandatory tipping ensures that everyone is treated equally. You can't argue against that. It's not fair for the guy busing tables and washing dishes to make considerably less than others.

Also, there's a huge imbalance with tipping. When the  norm is to tip 15%, no matter what the bill is, but you get the same type of service regardless of price, it makes no sense. 

If tipping was the power, then by that logic, service would be amazing no matter where you go. We know that's not the case. Boom!
