(Canada). Sit down table service, delivery and taxi I tip standard % pretax, everywhere else, will be only after if I really enjoyed the experience and not more than $5. Also I tip less if their sign has a price less than what I actually get billed (it's happened several occasions). I try to pay tips only in cash so that they actually go to the waitstaff and not to the creditcard company or the manager.
There's something about tipping cash that's more visible, physical and I can tip less by cash and still be somewhat acceptable. Credit though is quick - either a press of a button on a tablet or a quick tally, which racks up the bill.
credit is always post-tax too, because a number has been punched into the credit-terminal so it has no idea how much tax there was.
