And everybody knows that you're supposed to ignore the customs of the places you visit. A lot of people actually *do*. Plus, there are a LOT of people in the US who don't deserve a tip. But you'll find very few of those people waiting tables in restaurants. Yeah-Right. No rude people waiting tables in the US. What gets me are places like buffets, where you pay when you enter. They ask if you want to include the tip on your credit card. How the hell do I know what the service will be like. If the waitperson is decent, I leave a generous tip. If not, I leave little or nothing.

If not, I leave little or nothing. In most buffets, I don't use a credit card and pay the amount asked without addition since very often you are asked to pay before being seated. If the staff has been ordinarily attentive, refilled drinks and cleared plates etc., I think I will leave 10% but rounded up to the nearest dollar. I usually give 15% (rounded up) in a regular restaurant. .. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not

He didn't say none. He said very few, which has certainly been my experience. You don't bite the hand that feeds you, in this case, the diner.

If the waitperson is decent, I leave a generous tip. If not, I leave little or nothing. Which is how it works.
