With big tables, they inevitably cant believe how much they spent when the bill comes, they are reeling from sticker shock when it comes time to tip and aside from that they almost always assume that someone else is going to do it.

Automatic gratuity is fine with me because I actually tip less that way.
I usually get good service most places and I think it helps to tip well since
I'm coming back again.
It's just a fact that some people don't know how to tip and I doubt that will change
anytime soon.
Most people don't realize that servers get a reduced minimum wage in many states
and the tip is needed to make a decent wage. They think the tip is "extra".
Educating them on this might help.
I believe in tipping and not only that, but
tipping better than other people.
I find that doing that regularly in the places I like gets me prime service.
I did enjoy stirring the pot about tipping though because the lady(pastor) is to blame, not
a church, community or group of people; but that's not how some chose to express
their opinion. So I played with it.
