Not to start a debate, but I just have to say . . . I think servers at buffets work JUST as hard!! We just ate at H&V and there was 8 of us . . . and he was clearing plates, filling glasses NON-STOP for the 2 hours we were there! If we had had a server, they would have gotten the drinks, taken the order, and delivered the food! So IMHO . . . I think buffet servers work just as hard, and end up with the short end of the stick, cuz people feel they are "serving themselves" at buffets! (I'm not sure how servers get paid in WDW if they are on the reduced hourly rate or not, but our total bill was $200 + a bar tab, and the tip was $36, that's only $18/hour - and trust me we kept him busy!
)
As far as the post office goes, I ship a LOT of PKG, so I ALWAYS tip my carrier . . . at the Holidays and random times throughout the year. PLUS, most carriers are on salary . . . servers are not!
With that said, no one should be forced to tip and should do so according to how they feel about the service they received!
