Tipping at the reception food tasting

I was wondering if we needed to tip the server who brought the food out for us to taste? I know we are paying 20% service fee for the wedding day, does this include the food tasting too? I don't want to seem cheap.

Although a very nice gesture, I do not think that a tip is expected at all for a tasting.

It would be a nice gesture as that person may not be in the gratuity pool for the reception. But I don't believe it's required.
