Yeah, the term mandatory gratuity makes my brain hurt a bit.

I've actually had a guy put a mandatory tip on my ticket and he acted as if he just rang me up for the meal. My ex girlfriend whom I was eating with had recently had lunch there with her co-workers, and she said he did the exact same thing with them. When I confronted him on it he acted as if it was a crazy accident and fixed it immediately. He had obviously been doing it to people for some time and was capitalizing on ignorant people not doing simple math.

I tipped him a generous dollar for such a weak hustle.
