tipping?

[coffeefan]

I tip housekeeping on the first and last day of stay. Tip well on the first day and you will be treated extra well your entire stay.
I sometimes tip other employees depending on situation.

When you say treated extra well, what does that mean? ex. Extra towels? make the beds? Take the trash out? Not steal from your room. This is a genuine question; I am very curious what extras you get?

Me too. What can house keeping do to go the extra mile? Towel animal?

The problem with this is it may not be the same housekeeper for the length of your stay. It may be different ones each day.

Getting extra soap, getting serviced earlier in the day (I go back to the room 1-2 pm so I can miss service if I’m later) and yes making me less likely to get stuff stolen.

Intangibly, every hotel rates guests, the higher you’re rating the more likely you get favors. I get upgraded quite a bit at Hilton, Universal hotels typically send treats to the room and I usually get an early check in. Disney usually gets me an early check in. I prefer to be viewed as a good customer, and helping out the little guys who clean my toilet and make my bed for me is the least I can do. Ditto for they guys who carry my luggage.

I have never tipped house keeping for the simple. fact we never trash the room, about all they have to do is make the bed --isn't that their job?

Isn't it the wait staffs job to bring you your food/beverage ?
Where do we stop with the "it's their job". ?

Yes it is. It’s also the ride operators job to operate the rides.

I believe servers are the only CM’s who are paid differently because of tips correct?

Interesting. So housekeeping lets the front desk know you tipped them and to give you a high rating?

I think from what I saw at the Grand a few weeks is that cleanings started at around 11.

Every hotel rates their guests and every employee can rate guests. They don’t always but enough do.

So I take it you tip for everything, from the guy who pumps your gas- to the fast food drive thru when they hand you your food. To each is own

That’s a wise plan

. I asked "where do we stop with the tipping? " Genuine question as everyone has a different limit.
Please refrain from misquoting me again thank you

America is the land where tipping culture was born… and alas, tipping is now an option everywhere.

My rule, tip what you are comfortable, where you are comfortable, but always tip your servers and hairdresser / barber. The end.

 

[DrAlice]

We avoid valet as much as possible and keep the "do not disturb" on our hotel room door the entire stay. Why? We just don't like strangers in our space.

We don't trash the place and will leave a tip for housekeeping at the end of the stay.

From my experience, hairdressers are the worst tippers.
10 years delivering for Edible Arrangements and never, ever received a tip from a hairdresser, stylist, etc.
