I've experienced similar thing today. My waiter insisted to leave a 20% tip. First he told me, the 20% service fee is not included, when he printed out the receipt (I paid by credit card) he pointed out the tip line and asked me to write down 20% tip. I asked him back and said "Well shouldn't I tip how much ever i want to?" and I just put down 10% for a bad service. Felt like i felt for a tourist trap. He did not offer an English Menu either and I didnt know it existed. I read online that 10% is sufficient in Peru and asking for 20% was ridiculous. I asked him for the suggestion of food and he suggested one of the expensive foods - 59 soles for Lobster fettucini- and now it makes me think that he suggested more expensive food just to earn more tips. It isn't much to tip him but i was super annoyed how the server behaved and pressured us to pay a 20% service charge. I believe his name was Jorge and i hope this place trains their workers not to pressure customers to tip them.
