No tip, regardless of whether it's used or not. |
Of course I tip. It's a horrible job. My college roommate's mom was a housekeeper at the Doubletree. |
My grandmother was a hotel maid for years when she emigrated to the US. She also cleaned houses on her days off. I always tip.
I get my hard work ethic from her, I am sure. |
Same. This was not a thing where/when I grew up and I don't even think about it. |
Racist. |
Where did you grow up? A barn? |
+1 Every time |
It absolutely is routine and customary and has been for at least 40 years. You get to decide whether it’s necessary. |
Same where I grew up (in another country). It’s a hotel service that is included in the price. I would no more tip for this than I would go into the kitchen of a restaurant and start handing tips out to chefs. I assume that hotel maids and restaurant chefs are paid a salary. |
You might want to do a little research on how hotel maids are compensated. |
Truly never occurred to me to tip. I thought this was included in the nightly rate for the hotel plus the resort fees added on at most resorts. I don’t really know anyone who tips housekeeping regularly. |
Those of you who would never tip housekeeping, do you tip the bellboy and other male hospitality staff? |
Now that you know, do you plan to tip in the future? |
Their pay is tip-based like waiters? Or are you just saying it is minimum wage, like many other jobs? |
In these instances I still leave 10 bucks when I check out. |
