Does take-out/ buffet require a tip?
"Lynn Guinni" a écrit dans le message de
... | Nobody would have dreamed of tipping at a takeout a few years ago. I | don't know what genius decided on the idea of a tip jar, but obviously | he realized there are a lot of idiots out there. Some jars even have | nasty, pushy slogans on them (e.g., "Tipping is not a city in China"). | Remember, if you toss money in there, it'll be shared, rather than going | to some individual who gave good service. | | I'd say that if it's a place to go to frequently, and you consistently | get above standard service from them, some kind of tip is in order. If | it's a one-time and they just hand something over, I wouldn't encourage | the baksheesh beggars. | | Next question: what about a tip at a serve-yourself buffet? interrestingly enough, there was a bit on the radio just a few days ago where they were talking about tipping rates, etc. They said that for buffets, it should be 10%. It is tru that you have wait staff for drinks and stuff, and busboy/gals, but you don't get the personnalized service of ordering, suggestion on what food to choose, proper sequencing and timing of plates, personnalized attention ("Is everything ok", getting more bread, condiments, etc). So, yes, 10% seems about right, unless you require a lot of attention (order many drinks / wine / beer / coffee). my 2 cents... Marcel. |

So, yes, 10% seems about right, unless you require a lot of attention (order many drinks / wine / beer / coffee). Based on your first paragraph, 10% seems pretty excessive. Let's assume you tip 15% on any beverages they have to bring you just like in any other restaurant. This has nothing to do with the food. Or lets look at it another way: suppose you order no drinks at all, so it's just the food consideration. Then the only service you've received is that a busboy clears your plate. Why is that worth 2/3 of the normal tip amount? |
