Why? I love places that do that. I wish every restaurant just automatically added 20% and we could be done with this whole tipping business.


+1 Maybe one day...

No, since they took care of it themselves.

I tip like a European in those scenarios. Somewhere between $1 and 5% depending on service.

A 20% service charge is substantial. My assumption is that any further tip is unnecessary & unexpected.

Nope, that's the tip.

That’s the tip.

Restaurants do that when they might be in a high tourist area where not everybody tips. Or when there are more than six people in a party.

No, not if I have already left a 20% service charge.i would assume that was the tip.

I've encountered a service charge at places around the DMV but it was lower, around 2%-5% at the most. And this note says nothing about that 20% being gratuity.

Is it standard to also tip 20% as well?


Nope.

I might give a little extra, but I don't give a whole extra 20% when they're already charging 20% service.
