Default Surcharge (auto-tip) Yay? Nay?

I used to go to lunch occasionally at one restaurant with a small group
(4 people) of co-workers. One woman *never* tipped. She ran the server
around like crazy and this wasn't even a large group. We usually had
separate checks. One of us us would create a ruse when we paid and were
leaving. We'd slip some money under this woman's plate for her share of
the tip. There's nothing worse than going out to eat with a cheapskate
who won't tip even for excellent service.
