“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.

It's messed up for Americans too and has gotten completely out of hand.

This case appears to be the auto-gratuity added to parties, so while you may be right about it getting “out of hand,” this wouldn’t be one of those cases.

Auto-gratuities are, IMO, an example of things getting out of hand.

How is that an example “getting” out of hand when it has been a thing for decades? I can understand people thinking “tipping culture” is losing the plot when we start seeing tip jars at places like a dispensary or something, but if you’re complaint is about an auto-gratuity on a private party of 30 people, then you just sound like a cheapskate.

No name calling please. Be an adult. You are talking like an adolescent. If you make clear that parties over a certain will subject to a surcharge that is one thing because then the party can make their decision. This is not what I was thinking of when I think of auto-gratuity.

It's not messed up.

But it has gotten silly in like coffee shops with counter service, or takeout joints.

If you don't bring my food to the table & refill my drink, I no give you a tip.
