Its not the resturant that does this. Its the credit card companies that put this policy into place and "protect" themselves by adding the extra amount allotted for a tip.
With that said if you use your credit card or debit card at any establishment that you write in a tip amount after your card has been run you should ALWAYS fill it out completely. If you are going to tip cash make sure to either clearly cross out where the tip is written or write a big zero. Also ALWAYS total it out. Leaving that blank can allow a dishonest person write in whatever they want. Im my 9 years in the industry I told people that over and over. While it wasnt anything they had to worry about at my bar it happened alot of other places. It seems like common sense but you have no idea how may times people would scribble their name at the bottom and leave everything else blank
