None of this is probably due to the person serving you, but either to the guys in the kitchen or hotel policy...

I usually have a simple policy: if a service charge is added, I don't tip. In one particular Korean hotel they even had a sign at the front desk: "To avoid individual tipping we charge 10% service fee." What else should the service fee be for if not to pay for the service staff?
