Not only that but if you read the menu (at least in france) a 15% gratuity is INCLUDED in the price. So not only are you paying for the tip, you're required to give 15% regardless of the service sucks donkeys or not. Boo to that, I say.

That's pretty much the way it works in Europe, gratuity included. And serving staff in France are rarely that fantastic, especially to tourists. It's one of the charms of the culture.
