If its just my table, I'd be annoyed too. However, in this case its obviously a huge party with a lot of people. I have no problem with automatic gratuities for huge parties, because when its one table you know you have to tip, but with a huge party sometimes everyone sort of slinks off thinking someone else will get the tip, or not wanting to adequately tip such a huge bill.
I wouldn't be put off at all with a lot of people, and if I wanted to tip 20% or 25% for a huge group of people, I'd understand why they have to have the automatic gratuity and just write in the extra 2% or 7%
