They can loose their Visa account for shit like this.

I believe you, but a lot of restaurants do have that written on their bills, and in that case even if you filled out $0 tip and wrote in a total of $50, and even if you left cash on the table for a tip they would be within their right to add in the 18% gratuity if your party exceeded whatever it says on the bill, typically four or more people.
