Without scrolling through the whole thread i don't believe he said he didn't tip. Perhaps you are confusing him for another member with a similar avatar who seems to boast about that fact.

He has said a few times through out the history of the thread that he doesn't tip because mousekeeping is baked into the price of the room. That is his own choice; I may not agree with it in terms of etiquette, but it is really none of my business.

Reading is hard. Jokes are harder. Sarcasm is hardest.

You think it got thrown away? But then you say they don't make enough money. If they are so poor, why would they throw away my gifts?

I am not going to roped into a back and forth. I can read, get jokes, and sarcasm just fine; however, on-line is is harder to determine when someone is being a jerk, and when they are just playing around. Which was why I stated that I assumed you were trying to be funny. I was just pointing out that the language comment was pushing the line a bit and could be offensive.

I actually am not so sure you can read, or get jokes. You have obviously read the entire thread. Could you do me a favor and quote my posts where I said I didn't tip? Maybe I am sleep posting, and dunno what the heck is going on.

I am sorry if I mis-spoke regarding the tipping. It was this original post, along with some comments in others, that seemed to heavily imply you didn't tip in regards to mousekeeping. Which either way isn't my problem. Once again, I apologize if I read it wrong and mis-spoke, but the implication was there.

I keep getting you confused with another poster who has the same avatar as well. It's easy to do.You are right and I am sorry for the confusion. Your avatar pictures are very similar and I was getting the two confused.
Xdan can be...um...spirited....but in this instance he's actually being calm.lol.
I think there was only 2 people in this thread who said they don't tip.. maybe they were absent during etiquette class in school..
I'm hoping ignorance is a better excuse than just downright meanness.

For what you pay for a room at the Grand Flo you should get new towels daily!! The Grand Flo provides more than excellent service to their guests.

In 2015 we stayed at the Poly for 21 nights. For the first week we left a tip every single day but we were getting increasingly dissatisified with the service. They were having renovations done and there was a thin layer of dust over EVERYTHING. Coffee machine, pictures on the wall, TV, drawer units. My son has asthma so we politely asked at reception to have the room 'deep cleaned'. It never happened. We asked maybe, 3 or 4 times. At one point a manager came over to the room and agreed it was not acceptable. Even after the stay was over the dust was still there. Should we have dusted it down ourselves? I'm not sure. The whole room was pretty dirty.
Anyway, we had a brilliant stay but after 10 days I stopped leaving a tip. Is that acceptable? I felt i'd paid more that enough to stay there and expected top notch service.[/QUOTE]
I tip for GOOD service, and if it is not good I don't. I think it is perfectly acceptable to not tip for poor service. In my mind a tip is appreciation for a job well done, not a mandatory supplement.

It is was all about the cost, then DVC villas should have clean towels on a daily basis too since it cost $10,000 + to buy enough points to stay for a week.
Umm, the buy-in cost has nothing to do with mousekeeping. That all comes out of a person's dues. If Disney went to a system of daily mousekeeping, peoples dues would go up accordingly, and I for one, prefer the current system. I don't want someone in our room every day.

I was trying to show that overall cost has nothing to do with daily clean towels or not. Plus, DVC has some of the highest maintenance fees (or "dues" as you called them) in the industry.
