Have you ever been to a restaurant where they automatically added a tip without telling you?

I went to a Vietnamese-Thai restaurant somewhere in North York today with a friend. To note, it was just the two of us.

When we were paying at the end, I was just prompted to pay without leaving a tip and I thought, “Oh, wow. The first restaurant I’ve been to where they don’t ask for tips.” I asked the waiter, “So, you guys don’t do tips?” and he said, “We already added it on the machine.” My friend and I calculated, and we realized they charged an extra 13%.

Granted, my food was only $16.94 ($14.99 + HST) and with the tip they added, it ended up being $19.14.

The thing is, nowhere in the restaurant nor on the website does it mention they automatically add tips, regardless of how many people are on the table. I’m not TOO bothered by it since the cost wasn’t extravagant, but it just rubbed me the wrong way.

Edit 1: ALWAYS read your bill before paying!

Edit 2: I was made aware the 13% tip is mentioned on the front of the menu which I missed reading both times I went there. (My friend paid for my food the first time, so I didn’t catch it then.) I usually flip through the pages right away. For that, I do apologize. In my defence though, the waiter didn’t point it out nor did he verbally mention it.
