Normally it just ticks me off for them trying to take advantage of me.
And for those from North America for some reason think they have to leave a humongous tip, it just makes it harder for the wait staff to understand why I didn't. I don't like to feel like I am being screwed, I don't like being screwed and I don't like to being put in this kind of situation while I am on vacation. My vacation time is a precious happy time for me and I am not going to spend my vacation time second guessing on tips. If in doubt I don't leave any. It is up to the food establishment to make me feel comfortable while I spend my dollars at their place.

Well said Wendell. Couple of years ago 4 of us ate at Greenhouse in P'Burg. The service was atrocious! We left no tip. The waitress ran after us to parking lot yelling obscenities at us "cheap B-tards" I turned, said the establishment had gotten the 15 % added and in my opinion should not have gotten it. I suggested we go to the owner and plead our cases. She stormed off. Needless to say we have not returned to Greenhouse.
