Lunch is considered Counter Service, therefore no tipping.For my clarification: at restaurants like Be Our Guest (lunch), do I have the option of adding a tip when I pay with my magic band? Or should I plan to bring cash? Thank you!
I can't speak for every Disney restaurant, but I do know that at the restaurant my sister worked at, she kept her own tips. She would tip out the customary amount to food runners, busters, hosts, kitchen, etc. But essentially kept her own tips.2 questions .... first one is do the servers pool their tips and split it or do they actually keep what they get per table? second, I always leave a tip in our room upon checkout for the maids. Not sure if I was supposed to so I just do. Thanks in advance!
You may not be able to tip at all. For positions that do not receive the lower server minimum wage, but the higher Florida minimum wage (sorry I don't know the actual names of these) Disney trains staff to refuse tips. I know this is true for the popcorn carts, so could possibly be true for QS as well.For my clarification: at restaurants like Be Our Guest (lunch), do I have the option of adding a tip when I pay with my magic band?

For room service/ in room dining where the 18% is charged automatically, do we tip the person delivering the food as well, or is that part of the 18% gratuity and delivery fee?
A good general rule of thumb:For room service/ in room dining where the 18% is charged automatically, do we tip the person delivering the food as well, or is that part of the 18% gratuity and delivery fee?
Boss: You're fired!
Me: Please don't! I'm having trouble putting food on the table!
Boss: That's the problem... you're the worst server I've ever hired..
just a little levity in this tipping thread, but seriously, one question I have is this: From working in restaurants myself for many years, I know that if someone used cash to pay the bill and then wanted to use a cc to administer the tip, we would have to charge them for something small on their card to allow it. If using the DDP, can you leave a tip on a cc or gift card even after using your band to pay for the meal?

Yup. We were in the DDP and paid every tip on a GC or cc without a "service fee."
