Not expected but some do, especially tourists or in cities or + groups often have to pay a service charge, and it was inconsistent who got that service charge!

Service charges have been cropping up here in the UK as well over the years. Typically they can be waived (written in tiny small print), but of course most restaurants default is to include it in the final bill.

And don't get me started on the fucking card reader gratuity option. Way to ruin a nice meal by making the customer look like a dick.
