So...I guess I missed it, then.

Is the service charge a tip or not and does it depend if it is a restaurant or a room service situation in a hotel?

I never tip room service waitstaff because of the service charge that I am not given the choice to handle on my own. I'll tip if I want to tip, dang it.
