The only difference I see is that you have flexibility under the tipping model, meaning you can reward the server with more $$ if they did an exceptional job or less $$ if the service was poor. Or are you upset that the menu said $20 and you have to pay 23.50? My theory is that people that are violently opposed to tipping have never worked for tips.
PS Our rate around here is 20%.
Yes , I like the price I see to be the price I pay. Having a price on a menu which is nowhere near the price that will need to be paid is ridiculous
If the going rate is 20% then include 20% - there is no way that I would pay 20%
Basic service should be included and tipping should only be there, if at all, to reward exceptional service - Going to a restaurant, service is a mandatory part of visit and should be part of price
