That's at worst a couple euros per person, very far from a 10%-20% upcharge.

  I have a photo of a menu from Munich earlier this year, not a particularly fancy restaurant - just a pizza place with a table on the street. 12.5% service charge at the bottom.

    But it was up front, in genuine print, not buried on a terminal.

      Just wait to you get to Italy or Spain, sometimes restaurants in very touristy areas will charge different service charges based on seating area. Eg nice area is 20% or more service charge, vs maybe 12.5% for a table without a view. You don’t see that until you are already in your seat, and then you have to deal with the social awkwardness of asking to move tables (which some don’t do because they are some mixture of introverted or embarrassed).
