Restaurants almost always authorize a pending charge that is different from the final charge. When you eat at a table, they will charge the exact amount for the meal as a pending charge and then add the tip to it later in the final charge. I always pay cash in restaurants, unless I can swipe my own card and make one charge that becomes the final charge. I don't like them tinkering with my credit card account charges after I leave.
