UPDATE: Suspects in Ashland Enslavement Case Release Video
ASHLAND -- There is new video from the latest enslavement case near Cleveland where a mother and her young daughter were held captive for two years.
WARNING: This video is difficult to watch.
Ashland County authorities released this video today of the mentally disabled victim beating her own child.
Police say the mother's captors gave them the video when she came forward with her story.
The mother says the suspects tried to keep her quiet by forcing her to beat the 6-year-old while they taped it so they'd have evidence against her.
Right now, those four alleged captors are all in custody, accused of starving, beating and threatening the mother and daughter.

UPDATE: Fourth Suspect in Ashland Captivity Case Surrenders
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Federal authorities alleging an Ohio woman was held captive with her child and made to do housework say a fourth suspect charged with forced labor has surrendered to authorities.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Cleveland says the charge against 21-year-old Dezerah Silsby was unsealed after she turned herself in Wednesday in the case that originated in Ashland. He said Silsby's initial court appearance would be Thursday.
It wasn't clear whether she had an attorney, and her case was not yet listed in online records late Wednesday.
An FBI affidavit says Silsby admitted she helped retrieve the alleged victims from their relative's house and once smashed the woman's hand with a rock so the woman could go to a hospital and bring back pain medication for the suspects.
Earlier coverage:
ASHLAND -- There's new information regarding the suspects accused of holding a disabled woman and her daughter captive in their home outside Cleveland.
According to prosecutors, the suspects forced their captives to perform manual labor, eat dog food and even threatened them with pythons and pit bulls.
Three people have been arrested, and authorities are now looking for a fourth suspect.
Federal investigators say the suspects made the mother beat her own daughter and videotaped it, so they could use it against her if she ever tried to escape.
They also allegedly used the woman's checking account and prescriptions.
The FBI launched its investigation back in May.

UPDATE: Three Accused of Holding Mother, Child Captive in Ashland
ASHLAND -- Three people are under arrest after inviting a mentally disabled woman her daughter to live with them and then enslaved them for two years.
Authorities say the trio behind bars tonight threatened the mom and her 6 year old with weapons, pitbulls, and snakes.
"This case is nothing less than modern day slavery right here in the Northern District of Ohio," US Attorney Steven Dettlebach said passionately during a press conference Tuesday.
Officials say an eight month-long investigation led to Tuesday's arrest of Jordie Callahan, 26, Jessica Hunt, 31, and Daniel Brown, 33.
Ashland Police say they were tipped off to this disturbing scenario back in October when the disabled woman was caught shoplifting. Authorities found it odd when the woman asked to go to jail instead of returning home.
A local and federal investigation led to shocking discoveries. Officials said pit bulls and snakes were used to threaten the woman and child from ever leaving.
"These victims were repeatedly exposed to sub-human living conditions, such a as frequently being denied meals, access to bathroom visits and they were physically punished for toiletry accidents,"
FBI Agent Eric Smith revealed.
Ashland Police say a childhood brain injury left the 29-year-old mom with the mental capacity of a teenager.
Despite two years of forced manual labor, beatings and enslavement, authorities say the mom and daughter are doing okay and recovering in freedom.
A lawyer for the defense made a statement tonight claiming the charges were bogus and the alleged victim was able to come and go as she pleased.
A bond hearing for the three suspects has been set for Monday.
Earlier coverage:
ASHLAND -- Three people are were arrested for holding a disabled mother and her daughter captive for more than two years.
The US Attorney is calling this a case of modern day slavery. Federal Officials say the mother and daughter in this case were beaten, forced to do manual labor, and threatened with snakes and pit bulls.
Ashland Police say the trio forced the mother and daughter to sleep in a padlocked room and even the pets in the house were fed better.
Jordie Callahan, 26, Jessica Hunt, 31 and Daniel Brown, 33 were taken into custody this morning and charged with forced labor.
According to authorities, Callahan and Hunt invited the mother and daughter to live with them in their two bedroom apartment. At this time its not clear how the couple and victims knew each other, but police say between May 2001 and October 2012 the mom and daughter were tortured.
When we were researching this disturbing story we found one of the suspects on Facebook. Jordie Callahan's page is full of pictures of two pit bulls and several large snakes. Prosecutors say these animals were used to keep the captives in check..
Ashland Police say the mother suffered a brain injury when she was 16 that left her with the mental capacity of 13 or 14 year old.
At the news conference Tuesday, Federal authorities talked about the abuse the woman and her daughter suffered.
"They were physically punished for toiletry accidents. And they were threatened not only with weapons, but also with vicious animals to include pit bulls and pythons," said Eric Smithi of the FBI on Tuesday.
As if this story cant get even more disturbing, Police say suspect Jessica Hunt's four small children lived in the home where all this was going on.
Earlier coverage:
ASHLAND -- WOIO in Cleveland is reporting that four people have been arrested for reportedly holding a mother and her child captive for years in Ashland.
The suspects are accused of beatings, threats of death and threats of attack from pit bulls and snakes to hold the woman and child for two years.
The U.S. Attorney called this "modern-day slavery" during a news conference.
WOIO reports that the suspects also reportedly made the woman do household chores. The woman and child were also, at times, not allowed to eat and forced to sleep in a padlocked room on a cement floor.
According to WOIO, investigators say the suspects forced the mother to hit her child and videotaped it, claiming they would show it to police if she left.
In October 2012, WOIO reports, the mother allegedly stole a candy bar while shopping for the suspects. She told police the people at the house were mean. An investigation was launched and officials conducted a raid at the Ashland home on Tuesday.
Officials say the woman and her child are recovering.
The suspects are to be arraigned in Federal Court later Tuesday.

Fuji 'Through my Eyes' Photographer | Gerry Walden
I am a freelance photographer living in Southampton, England. this Tumblr site is dedicated the work I do with the Fujifilm X-Pro1. I have been gradually adding new work to my 'Street Photography' gallery, and there is a slide show you can view by clicking on this link. I hope you enjoy the images, and maybe smile at one or two. I am afraid it appears the slide show may be a bit slow……

20F The Fuji XE1 Makes Me Warm | Streetshooter
Don't get things wrong now, 20f is cold. I know, I know…my wife Tanya laughs at the Americans and spoiled way of living. So as she walked outside to the garden, it was obvious that America has worked it's way into her mind and heart. She comes back in and says…."You better dress warm because you can't take the cold like me". Well, of course she ran into the living room and got under a blanket to warm up. I smiled and just let her think she's still a Russian Comrade that doesn't flinch in the cold. But she did set the course for the day. See, I am told that I am not the sharpest pencil in the box…(yeah right)….but I know when it's cold. I also know that film will reticulated in cold but sensors aren't as sensitive to weather conditions. So I headed out with the XE1 and 21mm Skopar to just take a nice walk in the more than brisk cold……

Anatomy Of A Street Shot | Derek Clark
I was about to post this shot with a few others from the same day, but as it's one of a sequence of three, I thought it might be good to have a look at them together to see the reasons one is chosen over the other. A lot of street photography is about one shot. Someone walks toward you, you take the shot and they're gone, never to be repeated ever again. But sometimes you have a chance to fire of two or three. This was one of those times because the dog slowed things down. I shot this in Glasgow (Scotland) with the X100. It's still my favourite street camera, even though I now have the 23mm f1.4 (35mm full frame) for the X-Pro1. There's just something special about this tiny silent camera. As a side note – the X100s in black was announced yesterday…food for thought…..

Street Photography in Perth with the Fuji X-E1 | Tomasz Gregorczyk
I met up with friend and fellow photographer Ted Dana today and we hit the Perth CBD and Northbridge with camera's at the ready. I'm the first to admit that I tend to neglect street photography a little. I rarely take my camera with me and hit the streets to capture the raw emotion of the city. Its one of my goals for 2014 (I won't say a resolution otherwise it will never happen!). Ted and I had a different approach. Ted was geared up with 2 DSLR bodies, a flash, and a bag full of gear goodies. I took the complete opposite approach. I had my trusty Fuji E-X1, and ND filter and 1 lens. Whilst I would have loved to have access to the kit Ted was carrying around (I wouldnt like all that weight handing on the camera straps though!) I have found that in the past I've been bogged down with too much gear, and decided to take the less is more approach…..

On The Streets of Brussels with the Fuji XE-1 | Thomas Fitzgerald
Now that I've finally perfected my workflow for getting the most out of the Fuji X-Trans raw files, I was eager to try it out on a proper project. I was fortunate enough to be able to do some travel photography before Christmas, and my first port of call was the Belgian capital of Brussels. The tightly packed city streets presented an deal opportunity to use a small mirror less camera, and so I headed out one chilly winter morning. Normally, I would take the 35mm, but as the streets in Brussels are pretty tightly packed, I decided to use the 18-55mm instead. Not only would this give me a bit more room on the wide end, but it would also allow me to zoom in to pick out detail where necessary…..

Street – Fuji 23mm f1.4 – Colour or B&W? | Derek Clark
This is a cross post with my blog at Derek Clark Photography for the following reason. When it comes to street photography I've always had my feet planted in the black and white side of the fence as it just looks more interesting to me. It strips away the distraction of colour and narrows the photograph down to composition and content. It also gives street shots a timeless quality. This blog has had only three colour pictures (I think), which were on the earliest posts. Since then it's been B&W all the way and even the post processing has been the exact same home made recipe that I cooked up in Silver Efex Pro way back. But lately I've noticed that some colour street photography has been catching my eye and that's unusual for me. I tend to think colour street shots look a little too bland, but never say never!…..

Fuji X-Pro1, Christmas shopping in the rain… | Ian MacMichael
I went into Liverpool city centre to pick up a couple of bits for Christmas and, naturally, I had my XP1 with me. I decided to devote a little time to capturing some street shots when it started to rain…even though the XP1 isn't weather sealed, I carried on. There were no problems with using the camera in the rain and am quite happy with some of the shots…it really is amazing what you see if you look. I had to be a little "covert" with a couple of the shots, nearly looking away and whistling as I pressed the shutter from waist level! Anyway, here a few processed in Lightroom with Replichrome and the Kodak 400CN preset with a few (not many) little adjustments…

On the street. In the zone | Donovan Bond
I hadn't visited Engadget in about 4 years, but when I saw "A Guide to Street Photography" on Twitter receiving praise, I decided to check it out. The series is very good, and I recommend checking it out, but I lean heavily towards Antonio Olmos' dark art of manual exposure, and Matt Stuart's manners and autofocus. Matt talks about hyperfocal distance and how he uses it for street photography. I loved how simple it sounded (to implement, not become proficient at) so I thought I would give it a shot. A few days ago, I set out on the streets of Toronto and spent a good 6+ hours wandering and a lot of shooting. A lot. Unlike Matt, I'm not a Leica shooter. I don't expect I ever will be. That's probably because I've never actually touched a Leica camera, but I can't even come close to justifying that sort of price when excellent and relatively tiny cameras like the Fuji X100S are available. The only trouble I had with this camera is people actually did notice it, some even stopped me to ask if I was shooting 35mm film. I'm convinced the more retro-looking silver has a lot to do with that and it's something I hope to remedy next year after the rumoured black X100S is announced at CES, but I'm getting way off course here. I'm relatively new to street photography. In fact, by almost every measure, I'm a total novice. I've really only been shooting street since July when I got the X100S. Zone focusing is also foreign territory for me. The kind of shooting I'd done to date simply didn't require it. With candid street photography, every half second counts so anything that promises I don't have to focus (as much), I'm going to try……

Fuji X-E2 for streetphotography review | Edward Chan
I like my X-E1 it has really amazing image quality, but it is not trusty because the camera has shutter lag and LCD/ viewfinder lag(slow refresh rate which especially at night or low light situation) which cause me some trouble in shooting at night which is the time I do my photography most of the time. When Fuji came up with the X-E2 which promise to deliver better autofocus and also fix all the flaws from the X-E1, so that I bite the bullet and give it a try. This is a review base on user experience for street photography or daily use. Some of the shots are for the review only, for my best photography, please visit my Flickr. All photo process from Adobe Lightroom 5.3. Color samples have some basic slider adjustment and without any colour enhancement. Black and White samples are processed with VSCO film Tri X 400- preset without grain and added black. First of all, I want to inform a couple useful addition for the X-E2…..

Shooting the streets of Hong Kong with the Fujifilm X-E2 &
27mm pancake lens | Björn Moerman
A last test I wanted to do with the Fujifilm X-E2 I had on loan from Fujifilm Middle East, was a Street Photography shoot. Spending 36 hrs in Hong Kong earlier this week, was perfect to see how documenting the streets with the new camera, compares with the Fuji X-E1 ! Fujifilm Middle East also lend me the tiny 27mm 2.8 pancake lens; a great companion for my street photography needs. All images below were shot with this very sharp prime lens. I've written on this blog several times, that Hong Kong is a Street Photography paradise; after New York it is clearly my preferred place to document daily life on the street!….

Welcome to a thread about the not necessarily undead.
This is a discussion about all types of "zombies."
Lets talk about how the afflicted work, thier weaknesses, strengths, and how they spread. Possibly even reach a scientifically possible explanation (excludes magic)
Pick a type and provide your knowledge below.
Types include (but are not limited to)
Viral infection
Post-death (necrotic) viral
Black magic
parasite (alien or otherwise)
Fungus (Inb4 last of us)
I will start us off on the fungus note
The cordyceps Is geared to the infection of anthropods, like ants.
Ants, as you can tell have vastly inferior immune systems to us.
But what if a highly mutated cloud of cordyceps spores came into contact with someone who has AIDs or other immuno disease?

How much do you tip when at a buffet?
We had a great buffet brunch at the Joseph Ambler Inn outside of Philadelphia. It was a little pricey at $35 per person which includes all of what you would expect on an Easter Sunday meal including soft drinks. Our server poured coffee but did not foresee our needs such as giving us clean, new silverware after our dirty dish was taken away. We had to ask for new silverware, soup spoons, cream for our coffee. So, what would you tip? 10% on a $166 bill? What do you consider the norm for buffet tipping?
Depends on the restaurant and the level of service.
Minimal service for me nets about 10% if it's a higher end buffet, with the standard ~20% for great service. Sadly, many places, even higher end places, don't replace silverware unless you request it. If you give the server a heads up that you'd like clean tableware for each plate, they should be willing to comply of course.
If it's a lower end place, I'll tip $1/person for *minimal* service--and 15-20% for better service.0
I always start off with the mindset that I will tip 20%, even at a buffet and then let the service speak for itself, if they are slow, it drops to 15% if it stinks and I cannot even get a refill on my water/drink then it drops to 10% If I can't get dirty plates removed as well, drops to 5%, and if they are just downright non-existant or ignore my requests I tip nothing. In my life, I have only "stiffed" the waitstaff a handful of times, and I eat out a lot, 90% of the time it is between 15-20%0
re: gryphonskeeper
Tips are shared with the runners who replenish the food trays. So I also figure tip by how well that job is getting done.0
I would only tip 10% if all the server did was bring drinks initially, but if they are looking after us, I tip as I would for full service, 15-20%. I can think of one Indian buffet, closed now, where they did a wonderful job of clearing plates, refreshing drinks, bringing fresh dosas and tea from the kitchen that weren't buffet items, always asking if there was anything you wanted from the menu, that sort of attention. I always tipped them 20% when they were so helpful. As a rule, I avoid buffets unless I can go just when they open, though, and many other restaurants are not nearly as attentive.0
re: amyzan
Buffets are great when you have kids with you.. that is when I go. You don't have to wait for half an hour for a kids cheeseburger meal while the kids roll all over the booth seats out of sheer bordom, plus you can get them to try things they have never tried before without wasting a ton of money on an entire order that goes uneaten. Also good for when you are on a very limited time constraint or budget.0
re: gryphonskeeper
Yeah, I don't have kids, so that wouldn't have entered my mind! Makes perfect sense.0
The norm is 10%. Hasn't changed. You are free to tip more, but if by "norm" you mean the etiquette standard in the US, it's 10%.0
re: Karl S
Wow. I've never heard the 10% buffet "norm." I just googled Miss Manners and she suggests that one always tip a minimum of 15% "regardless of the quality of the service."0
re: tokyorosa
Well, all of my etiquette books (which are published in the past decade) and most websites on this specific issue still adhere to the 10% norm.0
re: Karl S
I have also heard that 10% is the "norm" for buffet service. While I typically stay away from buffets, we do go to buffet brunch about 2x's/year but the parents pay for us "kids" so I don't really know what they actually tip.0
10% is where I start. It goes up significantly if they keep my glass filled (I drink LOTS)0
re: Jimmy Buffet
Refilling beverages is VERY important for buffet service. It's one of the only times the server has a chance to make an impression. We tip about $2 per person - hubby and I- $4-$5 total depening.. Most of the time, it's a Chinese buffet - where you get your own drinks, etc. I also add that we are very low maintenece customers and eat in about 20 minutes at most buffets0
I think it depends on the level of restaurant. I start at something around $1/person, but it depends on how attentive they are (and how hard they are working if they aren't attentive). If they are constanting removing plates, refilling drinks, bringing napkips, then I may do 10% or more (something more than $1/person) and up to 15%. If I'm stacking my own plates, getting my own refills, running to their bussing stations for more napkins, then it's the $1/person. Sometimes I'll tip more at Sizzler because my server is trying hard but extremely busy (apologizes, acknowledges, etc.).0
re: boltnut55
I was just at Fresh Choice with a couple of co-workers. My co-worker paid for my lunch so I don't know if he added a tip at the cashier, but after our meal we didn't leave any cash on the table. Were we supposed to leave a tip at a place like Fresh Choice, where we pay before eating, get our own drinks and they don't buss tables until after you leave? I noticed that my soup bowl & first plate was not bussed when I came back from getting seconds. And 10 min. after we had left the restaurant, I came back because I forgot my glasses there, and saw my soup bowl (it still hadn't been bussed...).
I guess the question is, are the employees at Fresh Choice paid a regular (minimum) wage, like McDonalds, or are they paid a server's below-minimum wage which is then taxed at 10% of sales? If it's the latter, I feel bad that we didn't tip. If it's the former, I think I woul've remembered to tip if I experienced receiving any service at all.
Edited to add:
When we go to Indian Buffet places for lunch, we've tipped at or above 10%, but at those places, we pay after they bring a check, they refill water, bus plates as we get seconds, bring nan to the table, etc.0
re: Alice Patis
I think that for an operation like Fresh Choice a tip is likely not expected (especially if there's not a tip line on the bill...I don't know about that). As you describe, there wasn't service provided that would lead one to think to tip.0
re: boltnut55
I completely agree with you on this. Living in Las Vegas, i've seen myself to more than one buffet in this city.
Level of restaurant, PLUS the attentivness given makes all the difference in the amount I tip. Generally, for an "average" Vegas buffet, it's $1 per person. If i'm at The Wynn (where the buffet is near $40 p/p, I will go higher. (it's also a great buffet)
A Chinese buffet (the ones i've gone to, at least) seems to have the least amount of server/guest interaction, and while I will still tip $1 p/p, sometimes I even wonder if I should do that.
No matter what, if the server is on the top of their game, I TELL them what great service they gave, and leave a great tip. (20%) Working in the hotel industry myself, I know that genuine compliments are such a great thing to hear. Yes, the $$ in tips is good, but it's always nice to be told by the public they appreciate your work.0
I still am livid about an incident more than 5 years ago. There is a huge Japanese buffet in korea town (Manhattan) that used to be a Korean buffet- I went there with my then boyfriend numerous times and never had a problem with the tip. (For 2 people it was around $45 with tax and we'd leave a 5% tip) Why was the tip so low? We got our own plates and the only thing the servers did was refill our water glasses. One time the waiter yelled at us and we ended up giving him some more money. In regular restaurants I always leave 15 to 20% but in a buffet when you do the work yourself? I realize that many posters in this thread are giving 10-15% but I feel that the tip should depend entirely on the situation. In my case, for pouring water and taking away two plates at the end of the meal (we rarely went back to the buffet) I thought at the time 5% was warranted. Today I probably would give 10-15% but honestly that would be more of fear of being yelled at:}0
Being that I am a server at a buffet restuarant, I have done everything to bring clean plates, and fresh drinks and rolls, and have even gone thru the line to get people mashed potatoes etc., to find that after they are done eating and leaving a huge mess, they have left me nothing or in some cases the leftover change in their pockets. Typically in any case if you have a server come up to your table for anything at all, you should always tip. Min wage does vary state to state and in my state min wage is only 2.13 an hour. I understand fully that people who are coming in to eat at a buffet with their families are sometimes on a budget but if you can go out and pay the price for the buffet per person you should be able to afford or plan it in to the budget to leave a few dollars on the table for your server.Don't forget that even after the customers have left with a full belly that we still have to clean, sweep,restock everything all for min wage and take it from me first hand we do get very busy at buffets.So please always leave some token of apprieciation for your server, they are doing the best they can to make it enjoyable for you and your families.0
re: dreamz2c
We go to a high end restaurant that has an excellent Sunday brunch buffet. We always tip 15-20% as I feel they do nearly as much work if not more than a normal server. All the clearing of plates, coffee, juice, and soda glasses. They don't replace the silverware here either except when you're ready for desert.0
re: Rick
Unless service is bad, 20%.0
re: dolores
Depends on the place, but normally 10-15%, as long as they're polite and show the work (to me it doesn't matter if it's high end or not). 10% for good service (maybe less if you have to get your own drinks), 15% for attentive service (polite, comes by often to clear off tables and refill drinks), 20% for exceptional service (and I mean if they go above and beyond the norm, or I guess if you know the staff! They may hook you up in the future, or you would hope!) If you are displeased or have a bad experience overall, it's totally fine to tip less. Remember, tipping is not an obligation, it's an option! So don't feel the need to leave anything if it's really that bad!0
re: jgami76
Personally, I feel that tipping has much less to do with judging the quality of the level of service than it does with raising the level of your dining experience. There have been times that I have had to tell the server at a buffet that this five dollar bill was meant for them. Tipping is meant to be a gesture of generosity, an expression of appreciation, a thank you for adding to your dining experience. Be generous and do not worry about it.0
re: Rick
Also went to a white table cloth lovely brunch on Sunday. I always have excellent service there.They refill glasses , remove plates, and even brought the little one out something that wasn't on the buffet. And smile and are sweet.They make me pretty happy to be out having Sunday Brunch so I left a little over 30 percent....they deserved it.
About the extra silverware ...I have never had someone bring new silverware unless someone dropped something or Dessert/ soup at any restaurant. Is that suppose to be common?0
Ah, silverware...I cannot tell y'all how much it irks me to have my silverware removed with my plate when I've returned to the buffet. And it particularly irks me when it's at a buffet that's charging more than $50 for an adult's meal. My husband is very conscious of coffee refills coming suficiently often, and if he would ever cut back on a gratuity then, it would be for that. Can't tell you how many times, though, I've had to coo at a server who ambles by, asking, "Do you need anythng else?", "You know, someone took my fork away, and I'd like one of those. We're not quite ready to leave, though."0
I used to think the norm was 10% tip for buffets. My parents' rationale, as they explained it to me when I was growing up, was that you had go get the food yourself, so why should you tip as much as for food brought by a waiter to the table? But in the last two years I have tipped 15% (which I still consider the norm for table service, despite the inflationary trend to 20%) at buffets because I see that buffet waiters work just as hard in bringing drinks, clearing dishes, and refilling drinks. I do tend to put buffet waiters to the task, using as many as six or seven plates for myself alone per meal. Another factor is that my husband and I are lucky to be doing very well financially despite the economic recession and, if we can make a difference by giving a larger tip to a waiter who might be facing harder times financially, we are happy to.0
re: browniebaker
Interesting thread for us European contributors. I know we have cultural differences over here, from north Americans, towards tipping in general and the level of tip to be given (if any). In the UK, tipping is a fairly general custom, although not a requiremenmt - but no-one would even consider tipping at a buffet.0
re: Harters
Indeed, but then you have a government that wouldn't let employers have people work for only $2.13 an hour!0
re: Atahualpa
Correct. In the UK (and I believe in other European Union countries) minimum wage means minimum wage. Our current adult rate is £5.80 an hour - but it's mainly cleaners and security guards who get paid so badly - serving staff are usually on more. Perhaps only 50p an hour more in my part of the world in bottom end places, more in better places (where they are likely to be fulltime salaried staff, rather than on part-time hourly pay contracts)0
I would never tip 10% at that restaurant. Remember that your tip is generally divided among all of the hardworking people responsible for getting the food to and from your table. When a buffet is very nicely done I will often tip my usual 20%, though rarely more. If it is just average, then 15% is the way to go.0
working a buffet can be much harder than waiting tables in terms of sheer hustle required. clearing mutliple plates, keeping the table clean, keeping everyone watered and so on can be a challenging task. The hardest shift I worked at the resto I used to work at was the Friday Night Seafood Buffet. Holy cow!
Also, people who tip really poorly on a breakfast buffet-that's just mean! Just because the bill may be quite low, that person did the same amount of work as someone on a lunch/dinner buffet (yes this applies to eating off the menu as well, I don't see why you would ever tip someone who gave you competent service less than $5). Breakfast buffets are hard! People are cranky!0
re: nummanumma
When I worked as a server, the restaurant had a buffet for Sunday lunch. This was the worst shift to work because it was so busy and people tended to tip poorly or not to tip at all. At my place of work, it was understood that any server benefitting from a good station on a Saturday night would also be required to deal with the bummer of the Sunday lunch buffet crowd.0
I serve at an Indian restaurant where tables can either order a la carte or they can choose our buffet. The buffet is almost more work at times than a la cart tables. It really depends... I give buffet customers the same level of service and that is usually reflected in tips I am given. They average about 15% most nights, but can be as high as 20-25%,. I make sure to explain everything for people, introduce them to new items, keep their drinks full, suggest different beer, wine and juice pairings, give them a little background and interesting tidbits of info about the food and culture if they seem interested. Basically, we try to make it a fine dining experience, even if they choose the buffet (which is a great way to get to know our cuisine).
It's fantastic, and I make a lot of money. Other servers at my place that treat it as more of a buffet world experience tend to only make about 10% on average.0
If the server was great, 20%. If the server was so-so, 20% If the server was just okay, 20%. They, too, have families.0
re: beevod
Then if they want to provide well for their families, they should give great service and earn 20%.0
I tip 20% as long as the drinks stay filled and the plates get cleared. There is an Indian buffet I go to where they sit a pitcher of water on the table and clear the plates after you leave, never removing a single dish while there. I don't tip there.0
re: Tripper
Does anyone know if servers at a buffet are paid minimum wage or if they are only paid minimum for wait staff? Don't know if it varies by state either.0
re: cwdonald
According to the US Dept. of Labor, tipped employees are those who customarily and regularly receive more than $30 per month in tips, so that would presumably cover servers at a buffet place.
Keep in mind that a number of states have minimum-wage laws that don't distinguish tipped employees from those that don't receive tips.0
re: cwdonald
At places like Golden Corral they are paid the state minimum wage (around $8 an hour)0
re: gryphonskeeper
The rules for each state can be found here:
re: nocharge
I know on the Golden Corral website they clearly state their employees are paid a state living wage, and tipping is not mandatory, but appreciated.0
re: nocharge
Interesting revival of a really old thread. I looked at that DOL state minimum wage listing and was surprised to find that many states appear to have a "minimum COMBINED wage and tip rate". I'm assuming that means the employer is required to make up the difference if the server doesn't make that differential on their own.0
At bars and restaurants in the US it's customary to tip 15%. At buffet restaurants there is no service. Everything that you would normally tip for - you do for yourself. I don't tip at buffet restaurants.
The customary gratuity is an odd thing. You tip the server, but you do not tip the people that actually cooked the food. In California the kitchen staff and the serving staff gets hourly wages. If anyone should be tipped , one should tip the cook. But that is not our custom.0
re: truegrit99
At buffet restaurants there is no service. Everything that you would normally tip for - you do for yourself.
you're kidding right. who do you think cleans up after you and replenishes your drinks.....the invisible man?0
re: fourunder
This starts to get at the heart of the matter. Here's my take.
Seems to me that at a buffet there is SOME service, but nowhere near as much as in sit-down dining. Therefore it seems that there should be some tip, but not the same amount as in the case of a sit-down.
Let's parse it a bit further. Tipping is done in this country in conjunction with the fact that restaurant waitstaff (in this country) are not paid a "normal" wage compared with other occupations involving similar effort and skill. The tip makes up for the lower wage. Where is the chicken and where is the egg in this arrangement is lost in the sands of time -- what matters is that's the system.
Now, in a buffet, less service is performed, and thus presumably less service input is needed, i.e. fewer waitstaff need to be there per dollar of food and drink charges. If this is true (??), then a smaller percentage tip is needed to provide appropriate compensation for the staff actually on duty. Thus, a smaller percentage tip is appropriate. The question is, just what should that percentage be?
I would be delighted to have some actual restaurant employees who are actually familiar with the staffing needs of buffet service vs. full service fill in the blanks on this. I've seen these discussions before, but have never gotten that information.0
re: johnb
Servers at Buffets ....especially the lower end ones work harder than servers at full service restaurants. You can have your belief on what constitutes service, but the fact is, industry figures show most buffet customers make six trips for hot and cold food to try selections, twice for some form of dessert and up to 3 refills for beverages. That's a minimum nine trips to the table to clean up after you. Have you ever seen the amount of crab legs some pigs take at these places? it's comical.
Just because you have not placed your order for food and the food is not brought to your table does not mean there has not been service, or limited service has been provided. These servers attend to replenishing the buffets and in keeping the front of the house organized as well.0
re: fourunder
I agree that there is service. I understand that the individual servers work hard. But knowing that doesn't help answer the basic question, specifically, what percentage of the resulting bill is appropriate for the diner at a buffet to leave as a tip?
How many servers (making less than normal wages) are needed for a buffet service vs. for a sit-down service of equal check size? If fewer are needed and used, as seems logical (??), but the tips left were hypothetically the same percentage, the buffet servers would end up with more money than the sit-down servers, which seems unfair to the sit-down servers.
Thus the question is, given the differences in staff needed, average compensation, average check size, and all the rest, what tip percentage at buffets would yield the same income for buffet servers as the typical 15-20% on a sit-down service bill yields for sit-down servers?0
re: johnb
I think one of the keys in considering how to answer your question is that at most buffets the establishment doesn't need any servers, they need buspersons. This excludes those buffets that set the tables and serve the beverage.
While a service restaurant might assign 4-6 4-tops to a server, there is no reason a busperson at a buffet can't handle double that amount or more.
While a previous poster listed statistics on the amount of trips an average buffet guest makes to get food and drink I have found that this does not necessarilly equal the number of times the used dishes are removed from the tables. There are times in busy buffet restaurants that empties do accumulate on the table. The busperson may wait to pull soup bowls and salad plates in one trip, and pick up a stack of used dishes at one time.
Many jurisdictions require a clean plate for each trip to the buffet, but not all do so. It is most common for guests to refill cold beverage glasses and coffee mugs. I asked a friend who is management with Hometown/Old Country Buffets and he informed me that he trains his buspeople NOT to remove empty drink glasses from the tables when clearing plates so as to encourage the glasses reuse and cut costs. He is in management in Connecticut in a city whose health department permits the reuse of the glasses, but not plates.
He also informed me, that he has to classify the floor personnel not as waitstaff (as they fill in the buffets and beverage areas in addition to clearing tables) and MUST pay them at least the full minimum wage, NOT the reduced waitstaff minimum. He stated that a tip of $1 per guest is appropriate either at brunch, lunch or dinner. This would average to about 10% at his restaurant.0
re: fourunder
First, there's no reason to be insulting.
Secondly in the business waitresses as you may call them are called the service staff. At a buffet restaurant you have busers and kitchen staff and hostess'- you really don't have a service staff.
If you just go around giving your money away, that's fine. But don't try to justify it. Here in California all staff get the same normal wage scale.
As a rule I don't tip buffet restaurants, but there's always the exception to the rule. While I was eating at a Chinese buffet last week I over heard that a party of 17 were coming in after a graduation. I hurried thru my appetizer and one course before the group began to arrive. They couldn't help but be self absorbed and I understood. But the staff did their best to make me feel appreciated under a trying moment. I understood. I tipped accordingly.
re: truegrit99
We must go to different types of buffets. The ones I go to have a person who takes my drink order, brings my drink, removes dirty plates, refills drinks, brings extra napkins, condiments, etc. as needed and brings the check. I consider that person a server (waiter, waitress, whatever) and I believe they deserve a tip.0
re: truegrit99
I think it's an insult not to tip.....it shows you do not value the service you received from the staff...or that you think the value is zero. It's funny how you mention the words self absorbed though in the context of this thread.0
re: fourunder
Do you tip, say, the service writer when you take your car in for a repair? Do you tip the sales person at the electronics store when he/she answers a question you may have? I suspect the answer is no, even though those are examples of service you received, and the reason is that those people are paid normal compensation; tipping from customers has not evolved as a way for their compensation to reach normal levels for what they do. They are paid by their employers (and ultimately the customers) for what they do, and they should just do it -- it's their job.
IMO, tipping at restaurants also should reflect the compensation system in place. At buffets, as others have remarked above, the staff typically is not underpaid as are waitstaff at full-service restaurants. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable not to tip, or to modify the amount of the tip, to take account of these differences, whatever they may be in any particular setting. It is not an insult to modify or even eliminate the tip in those situations -- if the staff is being fully paid by the employer to provide the service, it should do so without expectation of extra compensation. A nice smile and a "thank you" should suffice.0
It depends greatly on what service is offered.
Heck, I tip the servers and bussers at he United Airlines Red Carpet Club, when they beat me to bussing my area.
Folks, at this point, this thread is getting ugly, as tipping threads inevitably do, so we're going to lock it now.0

The FAA has granted an STC for MT-Propeller for the next generation 5-blade scimitar composite propeller MTV-27-1-E-C-F-R(P) / CFR225-55f on the Hawker Beechcraft King Air 200 Series with the Engine P&WC PT6A-41, -42, -52, -61. The installation is certified by FAA STC No. SA03209NY and EASA STC No. 10036196.
This new STC provides general performance improvement (5 percent improved take-off & climb, 3 kts cruise with 1800 rpm), maximum durability and reliability, suitable for all weather operation.
The propeller features a bonded-on nickel alloy leading edge for superior erosion protection of the blades, and weighs about 25 lbs less than the original 4-blade propellers with aluminum blades, according to the company. They add that the prop provides superior vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operation, has no propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating in low idle, gives more ground clearance for less FODs, and provides significant cabin noise and vibration reduction.
MT Propeller says the high tech, natural composite blades have no life limitation and can be repaired even in case of a FOD. The company holds ver 100 STCs worldwide with more than 15.000 propeller systems flying and OEM supplier for more than 90% of the European Aircraft Industry as well as 30 % of the US Aircraft Industry. They manufacture 30 propeller models from 2-blade to 6-blade hydraulically controlled variable pitch propeller, for engines producing up to 5000hp, and 2-blade to 4-blade electrically controlled variable pitch propeller, for engines producing up to 350hp as well as two blade fixed pitch propellers.

I love your manga female drawings !
I really like your style of drawing, great work
love your drawings! they all are great
These are great! I like the style and colors.
Thank you so much for checking out my drawings, I'm flattered that you like them. If you are learning to draw anime/manga style, I'd say follow Mark Crilley and his tutorials, because that's how I learned to draw anime/manga style
OMG, I love Mark Crilley! I've watched every one of his tutorials, and he helped me a lot! I'm not surprised you can draw so well from watching him! He's a genious! And no problem, your drawings are every bit as good as Crilley-sama's! You are so welcome, and thanks for the llama! Kyaaa!

Round the World Wednesday Travel Articles
Every week, on "Round the World Wednesday" we share tips for planning, budgeting and selecting a route, plus advice on where to go and what to see and do all around the world.
- Getting Kids On Board With Your Big Trip
- What happens when your big idea, your plan for a grand adventure, is met with a, "Meh," attitude by your children. Or worse, what do you do when they absolutely declare that they won't go, that you're ruining their lives and that they'd rather live with Grandma instead? Jenn Miller unpacks her toolkit for helping kids, from littles to teens, get on board and contribute to the family dream!

- Round the World in Retirement
- It's been said that "life begins at retirement." It certainly can! Anne Supsic explains why retirement is the ideal moment in time to wave goodbye to your old life and see the world.

- Travel Success Story
- Fred Perrotta struck me, immediately, as super bright, extremely motivated, creative thinker and problem solver. And that was before I knew that he'd quit Google to graciously solve my biggest problem: packing.
Read more
- Challenging Cultural Norms Through Travel
- There are some commonalities that I've noticed among young people who are encouraged to flap their wings as early as they possibly can. There is something about the experience of having to take responsibility for yourself in the real world, struggle through hard things, and get way outside your comfort zone that causes an otherwise ordinary teen to do extraordinary things. So, what qualities do these kids share?
Read more
- Ten Mistakes to Avoid on Your Around the World Trip
- Here are some personal gaffs that could quite easily have been avoided had Helen heeded warnings, followed advice, and planned just a little bit better . Yes, that's right; they've all been tried and tested, so better just take Helen's word for it, rather than stumble into the same pitfalls yourself.
Read more
- Long Term Travel As Education
- Have you ever wondered what long term traveling families "do about keeping up with school" for their kids? Perhaps you're asking the wrong question. Jenn Miller, world schooling mother of four, teacher by trade, discusses world schooling as a viable educational alternative.
Read more
- Why Do We Have to Go Back?
- What if we never went back but, instead, continued to move forward even if that forward motion carried us right back to where we began? Jenn Miller explores the concept of "going back" and how to take that magic you found on the road with you.
Read more
- Fighting Fears
- We all have fears that we battle in the dark of night. The question is, how do we get beyond them? How do we separate the rational from the irrational and refuse to be controlled by them?
Read more
- The Psychology of Pre-Trip Preparations
- Jenn Miller responds to a reader, and to her earlier self, regarding the deep worries that sometimes precede launch and attempts to tip the scales from 'worried' to 'worth it.'
Read more
- Giving Teens the Freedom To Travel
- Would you let your child backpack alone with only other teens at 14? How 'bout play music gigs in bars at 15? Would you let your 13 year old live and work with college students on a farm a thousand miles away? Would you let your kids go out for dinner in a strange city, in Thailand, at night, alone? Jenn Miller has let her kids do all of these things and more. In this article she makes the argument for expanding the freedom of teenagers and expecting the very best as a result. You gave them roots, are you brave enough to give them wings?

LDF Testifies in Support of Legislation Banning Prison-Based Gerrymandering in California5/03/11Related Case or Issue:
(Sacramento, CA) – Today, Dale Ho, Assistant Counsel with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.

Case of Eyewitness vs. Alibi Raises Question of Defense Lawyers' Competence5/02/11
Richard Rosario was convicted of a murder that took place on Turnbull Avenue in the Bronx on June 19, 1996, based on the testimony of two witnesses who had picked his picture out of a book of mug shots.
There was no other evidence linking him to the crime. He did not know the victim, and he did not know the witnesses. And there is powerful evidence that he was in Florida that entire month.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to decide next week whether to hear Mr. Rosario's appeal, which claims his lawyers badly bungled his alibi defense.

Court Rules Mumia Abu-Jamal's Death Sentence is Unconstitutional, Grants New Sentencing Hearing4/27/11
The case of Pennsylvania death row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal took a surprising turn Tuesday when the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously declared his death sentence unconstitutional. It is the second time the court has agreed with a lower court judge who set aside Abu-Jamal's death sentence after finding jurors were given confusing instructions that encouraged them to choose death rather than a life sentence. Now Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther and journalist, could get a new sentencing hearing in court.
Supreme Court imposes limits on class actions in case over 'free' call phone4/27/11
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday limited the ability of people to combine forces and fight corporations together when they want to dispute contracts for cell phones, cable television and other services, a move consumer advocates called a crushing blow.
In a 5-4 ideological split, the high court's conservatives said businesses can block their customers from using class actions. The court said the federal arbitration law trumps state laws that invalidate contracts banning class actions.

Postcard takes 67 years to reach Daytona Beach from Ireland
Note to snail mailers: when sending out your materials please make sure the address you're mailing exists. That's what seems to have hampered the delightful postcard a party known as the Beards sent their pal Dolores Callahan c/o Daytona Beach's Peabody Auditorium. "Thought you'd enjoy these scenes from ole Ireland," the Beards wrote. "We are cruising Irish Sea now in a ferry — great." Unfortunately, in June 1947 the Peabody was still being rebuilt in the wake of a fire that leveled the original building. The new location didn't open until 1949. Confused, Uncle Sam halted delivery and the card ended up bouncing all over creation (the most recent postmark is San Francisco).
The Peabody Auditorium finally received their Irish mail from the Beards on May 13. Hey, better late than never, right? The postcard will be on display this June during Daytona's Hippiefest Street Festival. Check it out to get an up close look at penmanship from the 1940s. Look at the way they wrote the letter "y" back then! Weird!
