 Yeah, well, they're still not eliminating the automatic request for a
tip without table service and without a waitress.
 I'm still getting surcharged at all sorts of restaurants in addition to
the automatic suggested tip surcharge. I'm so old that I remember that
surcharges that weren't disclosed up front were presumed to be contract
violations and not standard business practices.

It's all getting quite ridiculous. There are obvious solutions though: don't tip at all; don't patronize places that expect tipping; only tip as much as you think is appropriate. Lobbying governments to regulate tipping is yet another option.
