b*****n 发帖数: 1841 | 1 For buffet restaurants, a tip of 15% to 20% of the bill is still recommended
because the servers often work harder than in normal restaurants. They may
not take orders or bring out food, but they do work hard keeping your table
clean of the empty plates after multiple trips to the buffet line. In
addition to this, they often help to keep the buffet line stocked and clean,
and they make coffee, brew tea, etc. Remember that the minimum tip for any
server should be $1 per person. Do not leave only 75 cents for a $5.00
buffet! As always, if you feel you have not been well-served, adjust the
gratuity down. If a tip has been added to your bill beforehand because your
party was 6 or more, but the server was inadequate or rude, inform the
manager immediately before you pay your bill that you want the tip adjusted.
For bad or unacceptable service it is customary to tip as low as 10%. If
service is bad enough to deserve only 10%, it is a good idea to let the
manager know. Also, placing 2 pennies side by side on top of bills neatly
placed on the table lets the server know that it is intentionally low
because of bad service. If the server in some way offended you so that you
do not wish to leave any tip at all, still leave the 2 pennies, so that they
understand that you did not just forget to tip. |
