I find that hard to believe.

Or maybe it's just the way people are in New England.

Restaurants down here nearly always get shit over the automatic tip for large parties. In fact, I've seen the calculator come out to make sure that places that won't back down on that policy get exactly 18%. From people that typically tip 20-25%.
