Please stop feeding the troll, you won't even get a tip out of it!

For me, it depends on the buffet. If I pay first (like Golden Corral) I will usually leave a $1 per person and maybe even more if the server was very good. At WDW where you pay your bill after you eat, I usually tip the standard 18%. The service is usually more attentive at WDW restaurants and I figure they do a lot of work clearing dishes and refilling drinks.Just out of interest what do people tip at buffets? I have always just gone with the 18% indicated (once did 25% at Chef Mickeys on Xmas Eve because the poor guy was RUNNING around to keep up with all his tables). I'd be particularly interested to hear from US Disney guests.
As for the running debate. Can we stop now?

We had dinner at Ohana and the server was awful. My husband actually had to go find him so we could order drinks and the adult beverages arrived after desert. I still would have tipped him if he hasn't come over no less than three times to tell me tip wasn't included with DDP and that I had to tip him 18 percent. He even wrote it in capital letters on the bill. I think he got $10 in the end but would have got three times that if he hasn't been rude.
Ok guys let not get personal please and try to keep on the original topic regarding the DDP and tips
I will just add that the legal position in the US for servers in tipped positions is that they have a legally set lower minimum wage than all other workers because US traditions are such that they will receive tips that make up those differences and they are taxed on expected earnings including tips.

That said it drives me bats when I see someone complain about shocking service from their server and they walk out of the restaurant with a bad taste in their mouth, but still left a fairly hefty tip.
I'd also maybe have written back in capitals "you have to earn your tips" or something else equally petty!
I was trying to stay out of this debate but I can't help but express my surprise at the sheer number of people who have been told by servers that they are expected to tip and/or how much of a tip to leave. I can honestly say that in 10 trips to Florida and 1 to Las Vegas, I have never been 'reminded' by a server that I should be leaving a tip. Maybe I look like I'm a good tipper

I too have been reminded many times regarding the tip, we generally leave around 20% depending on service. We know what to expect so calculate the tips into our budget.
There have been a few occasions where i'd wish I had left a smaller amount.
Coral reef- we were leaving and the server blocked us getting out of the table to check the tip. So wished i'd taken some $ back.
WCC- we left a good tip and money for drinks but found out later the server had also charged our room for the drinks and tip. Luckily we had this taken off as we'd kept the receipts.
I keep saying I'll be more prepared and tip on the service but we never do.
Where in the heck are you digging up a number like $180 per hour in tips for servers? That's completely ridiculous. They can't make nearly that much per hour.To then suggest that the low skilled server is then worth a tip of $180 per hour is a bad joke considering the guy who creates the food is on less than a tenth of this amount.
