It's been awhile, since the pandemic, but all-you-can-eat buffets are making a comeback in the US, with foot traffic at top chains such as Golden Corral, Cicis, and others rising by 125 percent in March 2023 compared to January 2021. Many buffets had to close or reduce capacity during the early months of the pandemic, but now they are becoming popular again. Some buffet chains filed for bankruptcy and permanently closed locations during the pandemic, but others are making a comeback. Do you like buffets?
And while we're on the subject, do you tip when you go to a buffet? This woman on TikTok is asking people to tip their buffet servers. At many buffets a server will take a drink order before you head for the food trough. The TikToker shared that it’s not uncommon to make only a buck or two per table. (Note: there are a few adult words she uses in her video.)
