How do you tip a waiter?

Answer 1

I am a server myself and as a general rule never tip less than two dollars even if dining alone. Tip according to the service you receive but base it on a two dollar minimum, and always at least 15 percent. Of course tipping more than 15 percent is always welcomed. Service above and beyond excellent should always be rewarded. Servers are taxed based on sales and whether you tip or not, they are still getting taxed as if you did leave a tip. Unless the server is outright rude to you leave at least 10 percent, even if the service was slow. They are still being taxed.

Answer 2

* The same as usual. Waiters at buffett's usually get paid minimum wage or less, and tipping is considered part of their pay. Especially if they do a good job, tip them well, and ensure good service in the future * The Rule of Buffet Tipping recommends that you tip a buffet server only if they bring you your drink, not just refill it, but actually take your drink order. The recommended amount is a dollar per guest, though it is certainly OK to tip more for wonderful service. * The person serving the buffet does not serve drinks or anything else in most restaurants. Their duty is to keep serving at the buffet counter. Some restaurants will have a waiter/waitress attending to your table as far as drinks of any sort (depending on the restaurant.) If this is not the case then it's a personal decision on the individuals part to tip the person serving the buffet and that is generally 15% of your bill.

Answer 3

The minimum should be 15% of the total tab; however, there is no maximum because an individual should leave a tip commensurate with the amount and type of service offered. If it's felt that a server went above and beyond the norm to give exceptional service, the tip should reflect one's gratitude for that service.

Answer 4

It depends on the individuals quality who waits on my table.

Generally 15%-20% of my bill is added as my final total tab payment.

Answer 5

• In the United States tipping is part of the social contract we enter into when we decide to patronize a full-service bar or restaurant.

  In U.S. restaurants where table service is provided, 15-20% is the standard for good service; 25% for outstanding service.

  This also holds true if you eat at the bar, particularly a bar within a restaurant or hotel. The bartender who takes and places your order, then brings out the food, is doing no less than a waitperson who takes care of tables.

  If you're only drinking at the bar, the same percentages should apply with an exception: if you're knocking back $4 "happy hour" specials, $1 a drink should be the minimum tip.

  While tipping is always at the guest's discretion, if you received substandard or poor service, don't just "stiff" your server: speak to the restaurant manager. Otherwise, the server will never know why they didn't get a tip, and the restaurant personnel will be deprived of information that could help them improve their service.
