I'm already spending $250-$300 at your establishment, you're getting very well taken care of, but gouging is just going to make people go out to eat less. Between the increase in menu prices and the increase in default tip percentage, it's getting a bit ridiculous as it is.

I suspect those are the places where they don't get the tips, the owners pocket them, so they're saving you money.
Many of the machines always show a tip screen. There is no way to not show it.
