Mandatory tipping isn’t a thing anywhere at all.
Not true, I’ve been to several restaurants that have small print on their menu along the lines of “a gratuity of X% will be automatically added to your bill”, sometimes for parties over Y, sometimes after Z o’clock, sometimes just in general

That’s just part of the price at that point. Sneaky for sure, and I wouldn’t want to eat there… but it isn’t a tip by definition.

Gratuity is a fancy word for tip. It’s a separate line item, no different than if you’d written it yourself when paying by card, except it’s not voluntary.
