Why not automatically require a "service fee" (for petes sake at least dont insult everyone calling it an "automatic tip") UNLESS you have at least 8 people in the party?

I agree
I was lucky enough to work somewhere that when their were big parties I had the choice of adding the automatic percentage or not. I almost always chose not too. Most times in that situation I got tipped more than I would have if it had been added on.
And to anyone that thinks waitressing or bartending is just a bs job let me say you have to be able to deal with many different personalities in many different situations. You have to be smart, in control of yourself, and aware of whats going on in 10 different places at once. Its not an easy job and it enabled me to take care of my kids and spend alot of time wth them because I only worked 3 or 4 nights a week at the most. Plus its fun. You hang out and break balls, have a good time and make money.
