Why?
American "tipping culture" in restaurants looks like a nightmare. I am expected to pay additional money just because the restaurant manager don't want to pay their employees fair wages. I see a "$10 meal!" advertisement, but no way I'm going to pay $10 for it in the end, unless you want to make the waiter cry (I've read stories how US waiters were reacting to people who simply forgot to give them tips).
In Poland it's simple - "20 PLN" in menu means 20 PLN. Nothing more. No hidden additional mandatory tips, no hidden additional taxes. And it's awesome.

It's the manager's duty to ensure good service, preferably with wages good enough so that employees will care about not losing their job.
