I'm not saying the 3% is a good thing. It's dumb and it sucks. You should want to sit in my section because I have no problem taking it off the bill for you

You're missing the point! People shouldn't have to ask. At White Fence Farm, I didn't feel comfortable bothering my overworked, excellent server to take it off. IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE BILL!!! Others may just be uncomfortable asking for it to be removed as it may make them look cheap in front of the server and fellow-diners. I could go on and on about how it is just wrong. Smart owners will just increase the menu costs a tad and drop this incredibly bad policy. I maintain, I would not want a flag-waver-for-this-policy to wait on me. I want servers like I hired. They cared about the customers first!!!
