I feel that about 10% would be adequate unless the service was exceptional.

I realize that the wages are low; been there, done that. But if they don't take the order, bring the food, check back occasionally and bring the bill, they are only doing half the job.

I've become a regular at Golden Corral. Their food is really good, down-home cooking. And a huge variety. Breakfasts are awesome.

In a regular restaurant, I understand that the waitperson earns their tips.

Thanks for the input.
