Actually, I find "mandatory" 18 percent tips far worse than honest 3% CC service charges. If it's mandatory, it's not a tip, it's a service charge.

Lost customers aren't automatically replaced.

That might be nice but you can't assume that they'll be friendly. Maybe they're looking for a new home and if so, we'd be in the way.
