Automatic gratuities are simply necessary to avoid situations where a waiter gets shafted. It's one thing to get stiffed on a party of 2, but when a big party takes up a waiter's section all night and leaves him like $5 or something, it's just not right.

I'm sorry, but the occasional stiff is the cost of doing business.

And I personally do not care about their time involved to setup/break down for service. That's called overhead.

If a resturant is so scared that they may occasionally get stiffered on a tip, they shouldn't be in the resturant business in the first place.

Yeah, that 19 year old who's trying to make some money for college totally deserves to be [censored] over.

And if she doesn't like it, well, it's a tough world, missy. Deal with it.
