Do you leave a tip at Old Country Buffet?

Some people do, some people don't. They don't bring your plate, but they do clean up after you. I think some kind of tip should be left for them at the table.Do you leave a tip at Old Country Buffet?
Ya I do. About half of normal (15% or so) assuming they are clearing my plates and such.



At a regular place I do about 30% or a little more. I watch as others leave no tip, after being demanding assholes for 2 hours, and it pisses me off. Many people that do that job make less than minimum wage, as they are expected to fill in the rest from tips. I tip in cash, and always put it in ther hand. Whether they want to report the full amount is up to them. It is not an easy job, and I wouldn't care if they didn't report a dime of my tip.Do you leave a tip at Old Country Buffet?
Where can you go anywhere in public, make a complete disaster of your seating area and floor, leave it like that, and not tip? People that are servers at Old Country Buffet make $2.33/HR and depend completely on tips, if servers make $15 in 4 hours, they make a lot less then min. wage

Waiters and waitresses never give tips to doctors, salespeople, cashiers, auto mechanics, plumbers, or thousands of other professions, so why should they get a tip for doing what they are being PAID to do?



Perhaps a person making minimum wage at a store helps them out answering all sorts of questions, demonstration all sorts of products, and when do they ever give a tip for that service?



In this bad economy, with high food prices, people can barely afford to buy a meal today, and if they are one of the millions of unemployed, why should they have to give a tip too? At least the person at the restaurant HAS a job! Perhaps they would like to give some of their tip money to those customers that don't have a job to help pay for their meal.
