At a restaurant, if you pay for the meal with a debit or credit card, do they automatically take out the tip? Or do you write it in somewhere? I'm so confused.

you write it in on your receipt, unless it advertises tax and tip included in the price

Whether or not the tip is included in the total bill usually has to do with the the number of people in your party, not your payment method.
When the bill comes, there are 2 spots to fill in. It shows the total, and then a spot for you to say how much you're tipping (optional), then the total amount you're paying with the credit / debt card. If you don't leave a tip with the card, you can always pay the bill with the card, and leave a cash tip.

Well in full service restaurants, at the end of each shift the servers enter all of their credit card tips to the corresponding charge transaction in the computer. I have heard that it can sometimes take a few days for this change to show up on the card account because restaurants cannot enter all charge transactions until the end of the day. But yes, from my experience all tips do get charged to the appropriate card.

Of course not. Many people believe this and do not leave a tip. This means that your server waited on you and actually paid to serve you, because busboys, salad bar attendants and bartenders are automatically tipped out.
Always ask if your unsure, but there is usually a line under your total that says "tip _____" and a line under that that says "total_____". ALWAYS tip!

No, they don't automatically take the tip becasue unless you have 8 or more in your party it's not required to tip, it's expected

When they bring your receipt back after paying for your meal, theres a place to add a tip if you would like.:)

you write it in... where it says the total cost for your food, right underneath it has a space for a tip, you fill that in, and then add your meal total with your tip, and write down the total at the bottom
food.... 50.00
tip .... 10.00 (you fill this in)
total.......60.00 (you fill this in)
signature............(you sign here)

You put it on the paper you sign, and bring down the total, just to be sure.
