To me tipping has gotten out of hand as a way for companies to not pay. 15% is the average for a full service meal, if you're not providing that don't expect it.

Tipping is out of hand. But 15% hasn’t been the average tip in probably 20 years.

15% hasn't been the average for a full service meal in years, and many tipped workers would make less money and/or have fewer opportunities to make more money if they weren't tipped

And what should I expect to pay for a self serve buffet breakfast where you're poured a coffee and a juice? One pour. No refils.

The hotel lists the buffet as being $40 per person.

No more than a couple of dollars per person.

If I am putting the food on my plate myself then what am I tipping for? Table service or delivery deserves a tip, otherwise I'd only tip for exceptional service

Pouring one coffee and orange juice without refills and plates being cleared.
