Again, the grat is not a hot-point issue for me. It just seems to be an issue for many of the people on this forum. It doesn't really bother me at all. Like you said, it's an insurance policy. Over the long run, I probably would get more if I didn't have it on there, but it certainly doesn't make or break my day.

But, I just don't understand your point. Every person here (unless self-employed) has some minor policy at their employer that they don't particularly agree with. They don't quit just because of that. And, if I wanted to stay in the same industry (which I don't for much longer...anybody hiring?), I don't know of a single restaurant that doesn't have some kind of auto-gratuity policy.
