Grout or caulk?

We recently had a bathroom remodeled and he used grout on all the seams (corners of walls, where the tile meets the tub, etc). I think it's supposed to be caulked. Should I remove the grout and caulk? If so, what the best, simplest way to do this.
Thanks.

Grout is for the large flat surfaces but where they meet in the corner or base should be caulk. Just leave it for now since its in place. If it starts cracking next year, probably will, then you can chip it out.
