> Then we have buffets. I went to a buffet
tonight. Do you tip at a buffet?

I once worked at a French Restraunt as a
hostess. When we would have our Sunday
Buffet, the waiters were paid minimum wage
versus their customary 3.00 a hour. All tips
that were left were put into a tip jar, and
divided between the bussers, waiters, and bar
tenders.

It was always very interesting to me how the
tips sorted out. The waiter doesn't take home
all that you leave him/her. The bussers gets
15-20%, the bartenders get some random
amount, unless there was a tip on alchohol
sales, then they get a hefty 50% of the tip from
that. All tips are supposed to be reported and
recorded each day, so that they can be
reported on taxes.
