I'm curious to know what items you think are not tautologies...
I spent last week spending about 40 hours (class time and study time) training at a bartending school (I've worked kitchen, waitressed and worked counter service; my first job when I was 13 was as a fry cook. I have worked in tipping and non-tipping workplaces). During the bartending class we were not only trained to upsell to create a larger bill, we were tested on it during both the written and practical exams.
I'm telling you a truth about the other side of the industry, the side that you admit you don't really know much about. That you don't want it to be true, as a customer, still is not the point.
edit: or, to be clearer, since I believe them all to be tautologies, you need to at least tell me which ones you believe are not, rather than just handwaving and stating you disagree with all the non-tautologies, and not giving me any clue what you're going on about.
