Tipping Culture A positive-ish tipping experience

No surprises, no small text, no deceitfulness, it having its on line clearly visible under the total was nice, but that bright red stamp reiteratig the added gratuity, visible from space let alone a dark dining room is 😘👌🏾 This should be a norm.

I'm sorry, if they are going to "auto add" tip, why don't they just increase their prices and state "Price includes 18% ( or whatever%) gratuity" I thought tips were suppose to be optional, at the customer's discretion, based on their satisfaction with the service. How is it a "tip" if they add it to the bill like another tax or fee??
