Generally if i'm eating out I pay using notes, and I'll just leave
whatever change is there as a tip, so how much they get just depends on
how close I can come to paying the meal cost with what I'm carrying.
That said, I haven't been to a place where the service has been bad
enough that I'd not leave anything.

Probably also helps that I work in a restaurant myself, even if it is
out the back.
