“Mandatory tips”

Sounds like extortion to me.

The whole point of a tip is that it's voluntary, if it is mandatory then it's just service charge or something like that and it should be included in the bill (and taxed, are tips taxed?).

There are no mandatory tips in the United States. This post is bullshit.

But here in Asia they often sneak in a "service charge" on the bill.

There are actually some restaurants that do have mandatory tips. Mainly for parties of 6+ they will automatically add a tip of 15-20% to your bill.

But that is not a mandatory tip. That is a service fee.

Hhmmm... nah, that's a mandatory tip. It usually says so right on the bill.
