On larger parties, if the policy is posted, I have no problem with automatic 18% tippage. But for smaller parties and/or if the policy is not posted, I would be unimpressed and probably not go back. RWebb is right....there are "tip credit" states and "non-tip credit" states. OR and WA regulations do not credit employers with tip money toward their obligation to pay the minimum wage. Wait staff gets minimum wage, and tips are additional. Interestingly, technically, tips belong to management and can be withheld from wait staff and kept by the owner. Only a slime-ball would do this, but there are restaurant owners that do.
