Is a buck okay, or should I be tipping 15% on what the total cost would be?
The server is still going to make sure your table is prepared and clean, and to take your plates away. Tips are sometimes pooled with those preparing the food as well.
It's a buffet...$2 would be fine. Some tip more, some tip less, some don't tip at all.
