Do you leave a tip when you eat out?

beamsey @beamsey (425) • Philippines 29 May 09

I know that when you're a student, you don't have to leave a tip. Also when there's service charge, the tip you leave is much less than what you leave if there's no service charge. But even as a student, I still leave a tip. Also,...
