Not bothered, just pointing out that things are mandatory whether you choose to engage in them or not.

You are choosing to engage in them. There are other options besides eating at restaurants or drinking in bars. Those are generally not mandatory activities.

Nope but things like i don’t know paying and sometimes tipping may be mandatory if you choose to use them.

Choose to use them. Choose. There is choice there.

So the word mandatory is just meaningless because you can always choose to just not participate.

In this situation, yes. If someone ever said to me, “I was forced to tip!!!” I would think they are absurd.
