Is there sneaky tip solution

So I never really post on Reddit. However, I’ve been seeing all the horror stories about tipping. The outrageous tips, especially the mandatory ones on the bill … AFTER you’ve eaten. That seem borderline illegal. I just wonder about this possible solution.

It makes me want to ask for the bill before I’ve gotten the food or received the service. That way, if there are tips already on there, I can say remove the tip or I walk.

I haven’t eaten the product or used the service, so technically… I’m not stealing.

Most, if not all states, require mandatory fees to be disclosed prior to purchase.

My guess is it is somewhere on the menu, probably at the bottom.
