Little OT, but let me chime in here....

South Beach and Miami are notorious for this. They add 18% on ALL bills. I HATE this!

I always tip 22-28%. BUT...when they add 18% for me and a work associate 2 things happen:

1-I feel wierd filling in only 10% or so on the EXTRA tip line!

2-The dragons who audit expense reports get wierd..asking WHY I tip so much. They are LAZY and dont figure out the % if its all in one, but with the extra they sometimes catch me..and question me.

So...for me...the server makes out LESS then when they DONT add 18%
