That's the main issue with it. It should be on the menu, on every page that contains prices. Once it's (only) on the receipt it's too late to pick another restaurant. In Europe they're required by law to list it.
That would not be sensible because when people are comparing restaurants they will appear 18% more expensive than an identically priced competition when they aren’t.
> I hate it when you have to treat a menu like a legal document
I don’t know why you’d need to. I’ve travelled in Europe plenty, where restaurants charge a service charge. It’s right there in the receipt. I don’t know why this would be any different.
