tipping in a buffet

[mugs]

Less than I would for full service, but not $0. Probably 10-15%. I figure the waiters at a buffet probably have fewer tables to take care of.

and don't feel obligated to tip generously. what i mean is...if someone gives you crappy service they deserve a crappy tip.

This thread is why banquet hall workers shouldn't feel bad about making the special house gravy even more "special". 😉

The only buffet I go to is Todai... and generally, all they do is get your drinks and give you your check. 10% at most.

Tip at a buffet? None.

at least throw a few bucks to the people clearing the plates.

the ones i go to they usually bring you your drinks/drink re-fills, so i leave $0.50 to $1.00 per person depending on how often/how well they take care of us and remove plates, etc.
