And then die in a fire.

Eating at Golden Corral is a fate worse than death.

According to who?

From what I can tell in limited research its about split half with people who say you should tip the same 15-20% and those who say less.

Assuming acceptable to good service, if you can't do 20% of the pre-tax bill then don't eat out you cheap-ass.

If you have a coupon, tip on the pre-coupon total.

Within the industry, tip service on wine and champagne has always been different.

And also, because I said so.

Ive never really worried about the pre tax amount.

If the server gets a couple extra dollars because of the tax, that's ok with me

That's why you just tip 15% on the whole bill. It takes care of itself.

I can't believe you haven't taken advantage of the all you can eat steak and shrimp for $5. Nothing could go wrong with that deal, right?!

There are some pretty funny stories in there.

A couple of things that are helpful to waitstaff:

-Ask if their credit card tips are paid out on a daily basis.

-Ask them if the house takes a percentage on CC tips

There are all kinds of rackets in that business. Especially when a bar is involved.

When tips are not paid out on a daily basis, the math can get really advantageous for the house.

Everyonce in a while when I leave a tip on my card after a I pay a bill, the amount never gets debited from my card. Just the original meal price gets charged.

Im very sorry the government taxes their tips, thats
fucked up. That aint my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses
are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a
regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the
government shouldnt do that, Ill sign it, put it to a vote, Ill
vote for it, but what I wont do is play ball. And as for this
non-college bullshit I got two words for that: learn to fuckin
type, cause if youre expecting me to help out with the rent
youre in for a big fuckin surprise.

Its like getting as with your debit card. It shows the original meal price and then a couple days later the tip gets added. Like when you get gas with your debit it takes 1 dollar and then a few days later the rest gets added.

I pay on the card and tip in cash. Its the best thing for the server. We all know they are cheating on their taxes anyway, so might as well give it to them than a % to the owner who is charging you $48 for that bone-in.

The GF waited 8 years and can vouch for me on this.

Perfectly stated. 15% is not average. It's a below average tip.

Cash doesn't always help. The place my wife works at the owner takes 5% of sales regardless. So a big tab + little tip kills them.

Call me what you want but I have no problem with 15% if that is not enough and they don't like it I will be more than happy to take it back.

Cheap.

Don't give a shit, and by the way no where in my statement did I say I didn't tip more than that. It is still a perfectly acceptable amount for normal service.
