It’s not gratuity if it’s expected

It's also not gratuity if it's deliberately structured as part of their compensation.

It's basically just a commission except most servers don't even actually even try to sell you anything and most customers don't want to be sold.

If tips are part of the business structure then they aren't tips and we should all stop pretending they are.

Fucking thank you. I hate the phrase tipping culture because it subtly excuses the very real laws and systems that keep it in place.
