Re: GUYS, What is your Perspective on Tipping

I like to leave the chambermaid at a hotel $10 per day. They have a hard job that nobody envies.

I don't tip maids at hotels.

$10 a day? Sheeesh. I always thought the standard was $2 a day.

Never even thought about tipping them and I'm someone who tips everyone.

I guess it's just been awhile since I've stayed in a hotel for more than one night so it's never crossed my mind.

I usually just leave a $10 when I leave the room for the last time. Regardless of how long the stay is.

I leave a mint on the pillow.

I leave a mint on the pillow.

I leave toenail clippings in the bed sheets and floor.

Spoiler

In all seriousness though, I've never tipped at hotels. When we rented condos or cabins we've always tipped like $10-20 (depending on the stay/ amount of people), but never at a hotel.

I'm talking about at a nice hotel in Vegas, or the Waldorf Astoria in NYC (I'm staying there this coming Wednesday through Saturday) for multiple nights. Not a random Best Western for a single night.

Also, different people clean the room each day so leaving one big tip at the end won't necessarily put the money in the proper hands.

Don't know what the standard is, but I would a classy hotel like that anywhere between 5-10 should be good.

If a person makes at least minimum wage, is it necessary to tip them?

Like the jars at these coffee shops and such - I don't get it?

What is there not to get? It's a tip jar. Tip them if you want, if you don't then don't. Half the time in those types of settings (coffee shop or sandwich shop), the people behind the counter are too busy to notice you putting something in there anyway.

I guess I assumed they pool them. Hm, might have to re-consider my method here.

I get the point of tipping...rather, I think it's unnecessary.

If I can extend the application they're using elsewhere, I should put a tip jar on my desk at work each time I send a report out or fulfill a data request.

My method is pretty simple. If she's a 9 or a 10 she gets a tip (yes I know the joke here and it's not my intention) and that's it.

Exactly. Woman I work with has one on her desk, more as a joke than anything. She's got maybe a dollar or two in it. It usually winds up as spare change when someone is getting something from the drink or snack machines.

And people tip me with milkshakes in summer and cookies in winter. I've probably had cookies made for me about 5 times at work in less than 2 years. And we aren't talking premade cookie dough. These are homemade, the real deal!
