Sometimes their definition of service is different from mine. I appreciate actual service, such as getting my order right and bringing it without delay. I DON'T appreciate fake service like pestering me every few minutes and interrupting my conversation by asking is everything OK. Yes it is because if it wasn't I would have asked you to fix it. I also don't like a general obsequious manner such as overdoing the calling me "sir" every other word.
Eating out in the US really does suck in comparison to where I live. @BerlinWallCrosser upthread has got it right; restaurant staff should be paid a decent wage just like any other job and not be compelled to screw money out of customers.
But but but Trump only gives tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires! He doesn’t care about working people! Reeeeeee!!!!
I guess the service industry is now full of rich people…
Out of hand like you order a coffee at a local coffee shop and they turn the screen to you and the default tip options are 20%, 25%, or 30%? If your machine is greedy, I’m not going to the trouble of typing in a custom tip. Someone who’s been running around for me for an hour while I’m sitting and eating a meal is getting 20% for a good job. You’re not getting 20% for turning around pouring a coffee, turning back around and putting it on a counter.
Dr. Ron Paul actually introduced it.
I tip well for 'service' and i am saving money lately because it seems they think a tip is automatic and service is not required.

Yes the receipt has the tip amounts and there isn't even a 10 percent listed.

There’s no tipping in Europe, but servers make a liveable middle class wage.
There is limited tipping in places like restaurants and taxis but it's a voluntary 10% for good service. In the US it has got a bit out of hand.

Way out of hand though I love tipping good service.
