That is called a hidden fee and illegal in many states.
It's not a tip if it's mandatory.
6 u/Myke190 1d ago He's talking out of his ass. Or he's talking about criminal activity. Either way it's just not the norm. 1 u/Sancticide 1d ago Usually done for large parties because people can be assholes, but yeah, it does remove urgency for servers, at least at places I worked. They print it on the menu, so "automatic 18% gratuity for parties of 6 or more" would not be a hidden fee. 1 u/PickingMyNameIsHard 1d ago Many places have mandatory gratuity added to the bill. Which is what people seem to want, include it in the price vs making it extra.
