Let's keep the discussion friendly folks.
WHile in the US, the standard practice for tipping IS 15%-20% of the bill. If service is excellant or horrible, it is adjusted up or down.
If somoeone chooses to not follow the standard practices that is their business. While I do feel for the servers. As I am sure many will share, servers DO NOT make minimum wage. They are also taxed on projected tips, whether they actually get those tips or not.
Servers at buffets also deserve tips. They are not paid more because it is a buffet. They still serve your table. Make sure your drinks are refilled, remove dirty plates, and any other requests.
On a side note, my Dad tips according to some formula only he knows. When the whole family goes out, I always make sure to leave the table last, check the bill, and slip more money on the table. It keeps Dad happy, and I make sure the servers are tipped appropriately.
Not sure why the PP tips the way they do, but it is not the standard practice. But lets keep the comments friendly, ok?
