I know when I worked in restaurants, that was the servers option to do or not. I rarely auto-tipped anybody, but just wondering what it is about you that made them think you are a cheap bastard.
Were you profiled? Or do you stiff people and return to the same restaurant? As a rule, if you stiff a server, for whatever reason, the rest of the staff will know all about it and you aren't likely to ever get good service unless you wait out the staffing turnover. Not saying it's fair, especially the profiling bit, but it happens.
edit-
whoops, by no means did I mean to call you cheap, just that the server thought you were and added the auto-grat.
