... it was a buffet anyway, so I'm sure some people weren't sure how much to tip.
Did you tip, and if so how much? I'll tip well when warranted, but if the buffet is self-service and the waitperson is just bringing you coffee or a glass of juice, would you really tip 15%-20% on the whole check?
In this case, given the rudeness, I'd be inclined to tip little to nothing, and if need be explain to the manager why.
