Tipping etiquette...what do you think?

Regarding the 10 o/o service fee... and I may catch some flak for this... subtract it from the bill before calculating a generous tip for good service.

I want to agree with you, but I have never been sure the servers even get the service fee. I guess if they do, I am over tipping. I understand the govt service charge,but that 10% service fee has never made sense to me. Honestly, I would almost rather pay higher prices than have that added on. Semantics, I guess.
