One last post and I'm done too!

My take from the multitude of posts on this subject is that restaurant and bar patrons want consistency that is clearly communicated, either on the menus or on signage.
Realistically, French and Dutch side establishments will be different.
Given that many TTOL posters have, over the years mentioned that they are very good friends with establishment owners and/or managers, perhaps TTOL posters would consider sharing their views and concerns with the restauranteur pals towards bringing more consistency to their business practices. We know, that although these folks may be competitors, they do talk to each other and may be surprised to learn that their current service charge/tipping expectations may be detrimental to their businesses...just sayin.
