I'm a student. That is a big factor for me. I don't have enough money to be going out let alone spending extra. That being said, if the service was really good, or the waiter/ess was really kind and attentive without being overbearing, I usually give them a couple dollars tip. If the restaurant is overly crowded and there are people waiting for a table, I don't stay to chat. If the place is dead, I'm not tipping you just for hanging out. I'll probably order a few more drinks, and some cheesecake. But I'm not paying just for hanging out at a table, no.
