I often wonder why they come out to eat at all if they're not content. It's nice to know there are some people who have figured that fact out for themselves.

Well phrased.
Staying on topic: When adding a gratuity to a check, which I have no problem with, it should be clear and obvious that it's been added......and no further gratuity should be expected,
nor accepted without restating the fact to the customer that the gratuity is already included. That's acceptable AND classy.
Adding a gratuity and hiding/blurring that fact in order to extract additional money from a customer without their realizing it
is dishonest, in my opinion.
