I detest places that have automatic tips. Gives no incentive for the person to do an exceptional job
From the sounds of it on this board though, IMO people are not really being fair to servers when this happens. Unless shite has changed since I waited tables in college, it was never my option to add the auto-tip, it was on parties of 6 or more, I imagine that's still the norm in some form or fashion.
If you normally tip 20-25%, and the restaurant auto adds 18% and you decide that's all you're tipping, that's fine, it's certainly not a huge deal. But I'd just add that you're tipping the server less than you normally would for something that I don't think generally speaking the server has anything to do with it and it isn't their call.

I didn't read the ticket, and tipped $5 for walking it up to my room. Checked out the next day, and was surprised to see that a 20% tip was automatically added and was not included in the comp.
