I live in a Asia where service fees of 10% are normal with no tipping culture.
I can see why people may think 18% is too much, but honestly tipping culture should just be gone entirely. Waiters shouldn’t have to rely on customer tips, which can vary for different reasons even ones that may be outside their control, to earn a living wage.

Forgive my ignorance but what’s the difference between a service fee and tip in this context?

A tip is consensual

You must pay the service fee.
Also, usually the fee is a stated amount - with tip, you pick the amount (though you get guilt trippee into picking higher amounts).
