silly question about food tasting

[DMBFiredancer]

might be a silly one....

do we need to tip the person that serves us during a food tasting?

i have no idea and can''t find any info about it....thanks!

We didn't. But... there wasn't a bill to add tip to either time. So... if they give you a bill for the meal, just play it by ear?

I'd probably just call the catering manager up and ask, honestly.

phhhew
we just got back and we didn''t tip. the only thing we tipped on was the wine we ordered from the bar...thank you!

Yeah, I think you are good - unless it was a meal you paid for in a restaurant, tipping doesn''t seem necessary.

Who served the food? If a waitress served it sit-down dinner style then a tip would have been appreciated but probably not expected.

the chef came out and talked to us first - he brought us the appetizers.
then different servers brought us the different salads and then the different entrees. there were 4 different servers that brought stuff out.
i will write a nice email to the person in charge telling how gracious all the servers were....maybe thats something at least.
