Custom on paying the dinner tab

Santiago - 3-14-2004 at 06:36 AM

This has happened to me twice: when presented with the bill by the wait staff, I have put enough money with it to account for the total plus a 10% tip (what I've been told is the proper amount?). No one ever asked me if I needed change or just brought back the change, but as I paid the exact amount I entended to, I simply left. My question is: what is the custom and does it vary depending on the type/quality of the establishment?
