Which is probably exactly why they instituted the forced tip policy. Obviously patrons didn't feel the need to tip enough to keep the wait staff happy. So, in a totally illogical reaction, the management decided to force the tip.

Red Prime is a good example of where I go for the whole experience of great atmosphere, great service and great food. In return I tip accordingly. I personally don't feel much of a need to tip at a burger joint unless the service is exception - which does happen.
