How about we do away with gratuity altogether and just pay servers a living wage?
I wish I didn't have to agree with your logic here, but I do.We can't do that that would be........Logical.....There is no room for logic in this country.

I would agree with this, however with the tip system... The server has to work for thier money. Take that away and there's no point in working hard and providing good service if they are still going to make the same amount of money.
What exactly is a living wage? Why would you want to limit the earning potential of some just because others can't cut it? Sounds like spreading the wealth around to me... Employees are tipped in an attempt to encourage good service and reward those who give it. Others who don't won't last long. Paying a "living wage" is going to ensure that no one receives good service because there is no financial benifit to do so, when you can give just good enough service not to get fired and make the same money.Eliminate tips, pay workers a living wage, and let the management decide who's pulling their weight and fire the ones who aren't.
I disagree with this. They should work hard to provide good service because it's their job. The rest of the world works for their wages without tips and seem to do just fine. If I go to a nice restaurant I expect good service, just like I expect when I go to a higher end store or other business. I don't expect good service at Walmart or Denny's, but I would at Nordstrom or St. Elmo.
The thing is, I hate it when places take a mandatory tip, and a lot of times with me they end up screwing the waiter. If I have good service I regularly tip higher than the 18% most places add. As soon as I see that they have taken a mandatory tip, I refuse to add to it.

You would be amazed at the number of times I have seen waitresses add a higher tip on credit card bills when they feel the customer was an ass or stiffed them. Even more amazed at how nobody else ever seemed to notice. Check your bank statement next time you think you 'voted with your wallet'.

A "living wage" is what the server and the restaurant manager agree upon.
