Tips of tipping waiters

Hi, if I am paying for the bill using credit card at the cashregister after enjoying a delicous meal, what should I say to the cashier that I wanna tip the waiter $10 or whatever? what expression is most frequently used in English-speaking countries?

Thank you very much! Your help will be of great use for me coz I will travel in Canada very soon.

There will be a line on the receipt you sign to add your tip. Usually, you get your bill and you give your credit card to the server, who brings you back the bill plus your credit card and the receipt. You add the amount you want to tip on the line marked "Tip" or "Gratuity" and add the two amounts together for the total to be charged, and sign.

Normally you pay the person waiting on you. When the waitor/waitress brings you the tab just tell him/her to include a 10$ tip when charging your credit card.

Hi,

In Canada, in a situation like this, I usually leave the tip on the table before going to pay at the register. Sometimes I hand it diirectly to the waiter as I leave the table.
