EXPECTED
Means compulsory, as in not optional. "Excellent" service is not common or normal. Half-assed service is standard, but the tip is still expected. Tips are "expected" at fucking coffee shops…like wow, you're poured that cup of black coffee so amazingly…I'm pay $7 for a $5 overpriced cup of coffee.
In case you didn't know, most "restaurants" are literally fronts to launder the profits from back door drug dealing by the kitchen staff. There's plenty of money to pay the front of house properly without this stupid argument over tipping.
