Tipping

Here is my 2 cents...

We visit 6x a year for 2-3 nights each time. I do NOT tip mousekeeping. I do NOT tip valet, and I tip 5% for buffet service and 10% for table service. (Below Minimum Wage) I feel that our society is rewarding those individuals who choose to work in low paying jobs. It absolutely sets me off when I go to a sandwich shop or a coffee house and there is a tip jar. I find it rude and offensive. If you do not like your job you can head down the street to the local college and grab a little bit of an EDUMACATION.
Remember it is a free market economy you control how much you make by increasing your value to society. More High Demand Skills = More Money

As for the towel creatures, when did disney expect you to tip for extra magic? That could set up unprecidented expectations. So when I walk around the MK and I get a photopass taken I should give them a tip. Or when a CM smiles at me I should give them a tip. Even better, when the CM lets me through the FP line I should give them a tip. This is ridiculus. If I am handing out singles there better be some "Princessess" around. I don't tip the bus drivers, but using the logic posted on this board I should give them a couple $$. I am sure those guys make about the same amount of money as the mousekeepers. The only reason Disney pays so poorly is because there is enough supply (employees) to run the park.

I could go on...
