Buffet Tipping Drama: Is 10% Enough or Just Rude?!

Buffets always get me thinking about tipping. Last night, I went to this all-you-can-eat spot with some friends. The food was decent, but the real debate started when the check came. Some people at the table said tipping at a buffet should be less, like 10%, since you serve yourself. Others argued 15% is still fair because the staff clears plates and brings drinks. I watched our server hustle the whole time, refilling water and clearing our endless plates, so leaving just a couple bucks felt wrong. I ended up tipping closer to 15%, but it’s wild how much people disagree on this. Why is there no clear rule? It’s awkward, especially when the group can’t agree. Anyone else get weird looks for tipping more at buffets? #BuffetTipping #FoodDebate #DiningEtiquette #ServiceMatters #Food #Foodie
