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

Tell me, who can have wedge salad elegantly?????????

There’s nothing quite like sitting down at a white-tablecloth restaurant and being faced with a salad that looks more like a jungle than a starter. Those giant leaves, unruly sprouts, and random chunks of veggies can be a real challenge. It’s always a bit of a puzzle—do you go in with just a fork and risk chasing lettuce around the plate, or do you grab the knife and start hacking away? The first time I had a wedge salad, I just stared at it, wondering if I was supposed to pick it up or what. Eventually, I learned to cut one bite at a time, and not to cut up the whole thing at once. That’s apparently a big etiquette thing. And don’t even get me started on the dressing situation. Sometimes it’s all pooled at the bottom, and you have to do this awkward mix without flinging anything off the plate. At least when someone comes around with fresh pepper or cheese, it feels like a little reward for surviving the salad course. It’s funny, though—after all the fuss, salads really are worth it. There’s always a new combo to try, whether it’s a taco salad you can scoop with chips or a Caprese you get to layer up with cheese and tomatoes. #Salad #DiningEtiquette #VeggieChallenge #Eating experience #Food
