I love Chinese food but I'm always torn on whether to leave a tip or not. They all expect it and I almost always leave at least a dollar.

 

Do you tip at Chinese buffets? Thoughts?

Usually leave a dollar. Maybe more if I'm feeling good and there was some serious water-refilling.

I usually do 10%

Pretty much me too. $1 or $2.

Alright sounds like most of us are on the same page. I typically leave a dollar or two if she's pretty.

up to 10% on buffets

I'll also leave more money if the restaurant staff sings Jingle Bells in severely broken English.

10% at a buffet, usually 20% otherwise.

1-2 dollars is the usual for me.

I am a two or three dollar tipper when in China. The servers recognize me and I always get fantastically quick water refills.

Wire to answer your question, yes please tip at least a dollar unless there is an issue. And if you want to really help someone out that has a tough job leave a dollar and the odd change.

Pretty much me too. $1 or $2.

 

Do you tip more if they sing Christmas carols while you eat?

"Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra"

The only tip I would give, don't eat the meat. You NEVER notice any stray dogs or cats within a 1000 yards of a Chinese eatery. :lol:

I am a good tipper at other all other establishments, but at buffets I just can't bring myself to tip more than a dollar and whatever the change is to round it up.

Round it up, but usually about 1-2 bucks.
