This gets complicated. First you have to know how much the damn buffet costs. If you don't make a mental note when you enter, if you just hand them your card, and your receipt comes back and shows a 'zero balance' paid, see then it gets harder. I have always left at least a $5 for a buffet dinner when by myself. I'm usually by myself, I have no friends ;-( When with family or friends the amount goes up, exponentially is not the term (unless I had my sons with me - only once - big tip - they are Rascals ). But goes up on a per person basis, like I said, complicated. Once with sons was enough, hopefully never again. They made fun of the whole place, and HATED the smell of smoke. Recently I stashed them with Sparkles at a cheap Micro-Tel in Maggie Valley, and snuck off to play a little (redeem some vouchers). Low and behold they upgraded me to a pretty fancy suite thing. Stop...tale for another day. ;-)Quote: Greg216At rio buffet , like 30 bucks a piece , so I ripped them 5 bucks or so to keep getting me Coke , taking my empty plates (I think I used 6) etc .
I would rather be 2 dollars heavy on a small tip like that than light. My brother is kinda on the lower side , he says "oh a buck or two " for Buffett and also for HK service .
Sorry , but even 10-20 bucks a day of tipping is not gonna impact my vacation , so why not side on the side of being overly generous ? I appreciate it in my field where I just got a $50 dollar tip for coming out a quickly and on a Saturday to do a 3 HR job .

Sure, you got me there. But they clearly do less work than at a full-service restaurant.
No you don't, you just like to say you do just to piss them off.Quote: HowManyI make the maids change my sheets everyday, replace all towels everyday, leave all lights on and set room temps at extreme level just to piss off the "save the planet" liberals.
EMPTY THE SAFE
Works every time.
Top shelves in the kitchen, or bathroom, behind the TV. Anywhere the maids don't usually look, or are to short to reach. You would be surprised ;-)
