I think being obnoxious to servers can go deeper than just being cheap. It is often a sign of someone with a mean streak and/or a need to control others or to feel superior. And they find it easy to pick on those in a position of not being able to stand up for themselves. These types go through their days trying to make themselves feel better by making others feel worse. The customer is not always right. The customer just might be a total . Last edited by Laurie2; 03-23-2015 at 11:03 PM. |

$5.00 minimum, regardless of bill amount - but always 20% or more unless something is seriously amiss. Jimmie |

I consider myself to be a good tipper - seldom less than a minimum of 20%. But $5 as a minimum is excessive if my breakfast or lunch is than $12.

What authority (who) makes the standard? Or, to put it another way, who declares what the standard should be?

Whatever you tip is nobody's business but your own.

Who makes up the rules for tip amounts? Why not give 50%? A person should tip on quality of service. But the amount should be up to the person giving it.
Some cannot afford a larger tip. Some can and don't for many reasons. No one should judge others by the tip they leave. Yes, I agree the restaurants pay too little to the workers. But, that does not mean others must make up the difference. The restaurant serves food, someone has to bring it to you. I leave tips based on service not what someone demands I should leave. I find that many give very poor service in and around the villages but still expect big tips. |

Does that include buffets since all the server does is take your drink order?

Every cruise I have been on, you tipped out lump sum at the end as well.

Yea, I wouldn't tip at a buffet, just because I can get away with it. Heck, I could probably get away with never tipping anyone ever again. Could eat out 2-3 times a week more on the extra money |

I normally tip 20% on the total bill and then round up! It's easier if the service deserves it. If the service is bad (not based on the food itself), then the tip goes down which is only right. If they don't want to work, they prefer to talk to the other employees or friends stopping by or texting or just ignore the customer, then the tip reflects the service.

Usually 15% at buffets and at least 20% at restaurants where the server really is a server, not a drink order taker.
