How much do you tip at different types of buffets?

I've been to Chinese buffets, Hometown Buffet and several "high-end" Sunday Brunch buffets. Each of these venues offers varying levels of service but mostly consisting of bringing beverages, clearing dirty dishes and answering questions. How do you tip in these establishments?

    I would say to tip atleast 10 percent. They do bring your drinks and clear plates, but they also don't do near as much as a normal server does. But I think it really depends on how good of a job they do. I have been to buffets where the attendant did a little more then just bring drinks, and she kept them refilled and was very friendly. But I would say definitely never less then 10 percent and 15 if you can afford it.

    leave 20% no matter the restaurant. The staff works hard, and you should be polite to them as well. You'll be amazed at the service you get, and it feels good to give a good tip.
