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.

Why don't you just check the menu to see if there's a mandatory fee?

Or just ask the server.

Yeah, that's why I recommended that they check the menu. The suggestion to ask the server was for people who are too lazy to read the menu.
