I'm sorry but I just can't afford to give a 30% tip. I double the tax and round up or add a dollar or two. I'm sure upon occasion the tips I leave have been 30% or more and I always leave a tip when I go to a buffet place although I notice many people don't. People who eat breakfast and those who eat the buffet are the cheap people.
I know waiters and waitresses work hard for their money but I worked hard for mine too. I worked with the public just like they do and did a lot of special orders for people. I know I made above minimum wage and was not allowed to accept tips, even when I went above and beyond the call of duty. I understand that the term TIPS means to ensure prompt service but if I am going to be required to give a certain percentage of the bill as a tip then that amount should just be added to the price of the meal and tipping not be allowed. That way the wait staff can draw a descent wage and all the customers pay their fair share.
I don't think its fair to exp-ect the people who do tip to tip a l;arger amount just to make up for that percentage of people who tip little or none at all.
