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.

When I was in Italy, the service I got was far
far better than I ever received here. Prices were lower and tips were refused if I offered them. Of course this was out of the tourist trap hell and off the beaten path but it was a very refreshing change.
