Standard tipping percentage in the West is 15%, and it is actually considered in bad taste if you tip less.

The service charge is clearly stated on the bottom of the menus. Alot of people dont tip here, and not all restaurants charge the mandatory service charge. If you dont want to pay it then I guess finding a restaurant that doesnt charge it would be the solution.
