Obviously nothing, but the guy said that people unknowingly tip him twice, and he apparently has no problem with it. I know that noone would ever do it, but why can't he tell the party tipping an extra 15% on top of the 18% auto grat that they are tipping twice? If they really think he did an outstanding job worth a 33% tip then they'll tell him, if not they can correct their mistake.
This is basically the same as accepting incorrect change at a super market, not notifying the bank of an error and so on, and I have a hard time seeing how anyone could think that not correcting either of those mistakes is the right thing.
But apparently everyone else thinks that this is standard, so I'll just chalk it up to me being a Euro and not understanding American tipping culture.

"Excuse me Sir. I noticed that you tipped me twice, so I was wondering if you were not aware of the auto grat that applies to parties of 6 or more."
