For me, if a restaurant includes a tip in the bill, thats it. They have taken away any input from me as to the amount of tip. Unless I receive service which is nothing short of miraculous, I will never leave "additional tip".
The WORST is hotel room service where they include a "delivery charge", THEN a tip, THEN yet another space for the guest to put "additional tip".
Feels good to get that off my chest. What do you guys think?
The only time I've seen tips included in the bill are for larger parties. Now when I'm in Europe, I tip for good service even if the gratuity is included. If service is average or below, then no tip.
