apologize in advance, if you have free dining, is the tip still included and do you feel like a chepskate if you don't tip additional since it's free?

Yes, tip is included and no you shouldn't feel like a cheapskate if you don't provide an additional tip (we didn't if the service didn't deserve the extra tip).

Nope do not feel like a cheapskate at all.. the servers get 18% when I use the dining plan.. plus I have used where it was free and also paid for the dining plan.. makes no difference as far as I am concerned

What you may find is CMs encouraging you to order everything you're entitled to (appetizer, entree, dessert) even if you're not hungry for it all b/c their tip is based on the total bill. So I might feel like a cheapskate if, for example, I said I didn't want to order a dessert, not even to go...but I never do that.

Tax and tip is included. I wouldn't feel cheap for not leaving a tip at all. Now if you are rich, sure go ahead and leave the nice wait person more tip, but if not, don't worry about it, they are getting their tip. How much of it is the question. My best friends husband is a waiter at the Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa and is really adament about tips. We ate at the Grove Park Inn for their Grand Thanksgiving Buffet, $50.00 a person inc. tax, gratuity and service charge. She told me I should tip more!!! 15 percent was added in, but she said we should make up the difference to make it 20%. I feel that if a business adds in the gratuity, then you don't need to pay anymore. If they want 20%, then they should add in 20% from the start.
