Do you tip at a buffet restaurant? If yes, generally, what's the acceptable percentage of the check?

Answer 1

I always leave 10% unless I really have run them around ragged with special requests or if they were just so exceptional. In those cases I go a tad more.

Answer 2

According to the website I've listed in sources, between 5-10%. Of course, that is completely up to you how much you tip. I've worked in both buffet restaurants and in cook to order restaurants, and I can tell you, 75% of people don't tip enough. Not that I'm biased or anything lol..

Answer 3

I tip at buffets but only if the service is good. I know it's unacceptable but I don't tip at all if the service is poor. I usually tip about a dollor per each ten dollars spent but again only if the service is good. If I have to sit through half my meal without anything to drink you ain't getting nuttin from me.

Answer 4

If you go to any resturaunt where you are served something than you should tip. I leave 15% of the total bill, because usually at those resturaunts the tips are divided between the staff. I also tip if I order a to-go meal at a resturaunt that you would generally be served.

Answer 5

Only if there are waiters/waitresses who come to the tables to refill or bring us things. At buffets we generally do a $1 a person.

Answer 6

Well most of the time someone is coming to offer water and or tea, a beverage. They may pick up plates as you finish them. Give them a dollar or so, unless you have a large group and lotsa plates and glasses. Go higher then.

Answer 7

It would be nice because they make below minimum wage and have to live off their tips, but as far as percentage I don't know.

Answer 8

yes just 2 or 3 bucks

Answer 9

If you have someone bring your drinks and cl ears your dirty dishes, yes, a couple of dollars for two, 3 for 3, etc.

Answer 10

Yes, I do. At least $1 per person who ate at that table.
