I dont imagine that anyone is legally entitled to a tip, and if you decide to give someone money without contractual ties (and I think we can safely say that the act of slipping few quid to underpaid staff for their good service falls within this definition) then I dont see how you can start treating it as an entitlement. Its goodwill. I know some companies have tried to formalise this by intimating on menus etc that you have to pay it, which is a little naughty. Some companies have even gone as far as including tips as part of staff salaries (i.e. paying them less because they get tips), which I think is really naughty.

I tend to tip like everyone else I assume, by rewarding good service.
