True! Tipping should not be expected. Tips given at the end of the meal are, or should be, gratuities related to your appreciation of the service provided by the server, and in no way related to the price of the item you order. To warrant a tip service, imo, should be more than taking your order, bringing your plate to the table. The business should hire and pay for normal expected services related to operations of said business.
Can you imagine going to buy a $40,000.00 car and being expected to pay 20% tip to the salesman/woman? Assenine! Every sit-down restaurant operates in that manner because leaving a little change on the counter for the friendly waitress became expected easy money.
