20 Diners who weren't happy with their restaurant experiences: 'This restaurant covered up the "No Tip" option with a sticker to force tipping'

The only thing more annoying than a bad restaurant experience is being prompted to tip 30% as you're paying. As if tipping didn't already have a bad rep, some establishments kindly let you choose between a few tipping options. It used to be 15, 20, or 25 percent, which leads many people to pick 20%, which is a generous tip. But some places realized that if they set the tipping suggestions higher, people might still choose the middle option. Lo and behold, now some places have boxes the customer can choose reading 20, 25, or 30 percent tips. One pizza app even prompted a customer to tip 50%. Fifty percent?! That's so crazy that it must backfire and make customers want to tip even less money. 

These people had some unsatisfactory restaurant experiences that might make them want to leave 1-star reviews. One person found a food sticker in their dish, while another found a bug! Are these signs of fresh-cooked food, or of chefs who aren't doing their jobs? It depends who you ask, but regardless, these folks aren't happy.
