Twice now in the last week, I've gone out for a meal with the family and unknowingly double tipped.
Part of what GMGs is that I didn't bother looking closely at the bill, just went into auto pilot, added a tip at the terminal and paid... Though I think anyone with young children understands the rush to get out of a restaurant before chaos boils over.
The bigger gear grinder is that, in both cases, no mention was made by the server at any point. I've been to both places in the past (with the whole family) and not had an auto grat added, so this is clearly a new / modified policy where they've changed the party size criteria - I generally thought it was 8.
