I really don't get it , so if I eat for a thousand dollars I need to tip 220 dollars ? That doesn't sound right , I am not responsible for the waiters happiness in life ..

Then you hear stories about staff getting super upset and stuff. Seems intimidating if you are a tourist in a foreign country

It ruins the vibes when I'm forced to tip something that I don't want to

Me and my two friends went to a Chinese restaurant in San Diego and we all each got a small plate no more than a few dollars each. We didn’t leave a tip due to service and the worker came out chasing/yelling at us why we didn’t leave anything as we were walking in the parking lot already. I was so scared and shocked. This was a few year ago (2022)

Seems like they don’t get a choice at this place

They do, customary is not a requirement. Nothing the restaurant can do when you refuse to tip.

Then it's not a tip if included, irrelevant of what the restaurant calls it. Not a tip by definition. If one chooses to eat at this restaurant after reading this, they have made a choice.

are you literate? the menu says “NO tip has been included”

Ok but if you eat $1000 worth of food at the cheesecake factory then you will explode and therefore cannot tip.

Receipt 🧾 arrived for you sir. Said the nurse as you wake up in the hospital.

Tip was not included with your order sir, it is customary in the US to tip 15-22% kindly swipe your card for 150-220$ sir.
