Its a tip is for services rendered, however, if the service isn't that good I leave a small tip. If the service is horrible I don't leave a tip. Some restaurants automatically include the tip in the bill if the party is 5 or more people and that is usually a full 20%. I don't tip at buffets.

A tip. And a tip is given To Insure Proper Service. Tipped employees are generally paid a much lower wage, eg. $2.80 per hour, and the tips are used to bring them up to minumum wage.
