Service not included?

We Brits are bad tippers, it seems.  Indeed, the majority of us are non-tippers a survey has revealed.  Speaking personally, I object to being expected to pay extra for what I've already paid for.  If somebody goes out of their way for me, then that's a different matter, but if I go out for a meal then I expect the food to be brought to my table, the wine to be poured, and the plates to be taken away when I've finished.  That's included in the price, and if the waiter/ress isn't being paid a decent wage, that is hardly my problem.  And I really object to those restaurants which automatically include a "service charge" on the bill - as though they're doing you a favour by allowing you in!
