'Expect', one word with two very different meanings.
1. To predict or believe that something will happen
3. To consider reasonably due. Synonyms: hope, want, wish
They 'expect' a tip in the sense that they want one, but they don't 'expect' tips in the anticipatory sense, because tipping glorified cashiers just isn't part of the American tipping culture. Baristas and the like put tip jars on the counter but I'd guess that only 1 in 10 people ever put anything in those jars. I never do.
