Are you referring to forced "optional" tipping or service charge included in the bill?

The latter is ok in my book because it is seen as part of the cost of the service but separated in the invoice just like tax.

The former is a BIG pain!

I have just wanted to object to the notion that this is an exceptional American phenomenon.

It's also common in Canada. In Europe? I'm not aware of any country using a similar arrangement.
