[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I've never heard so many people say they withhold tips regularly! I guess I was raised differently, but there are very few situations where I wouldn't leave at least a few dollars tip to a cabbie or waitress. I also tip hotel [b]chambermaids[/b]. In my book these people work hard for their money, and giving them a tip isn't for extraordinary service, it is for the service itself. Unless I thought the cabbie was being dishonest or outright rude I'd tip, even without A/C.[/quote]

Are you back in the future? They haven't been called chambermaids since 1789 (joking of course, but I think they're just called maids now since there are no chamber pots involved).

I think the price of the service is for the service itself.  Tip is for doing it well.  It's like a bonus for your employees.  Not guaranteed.[/quote]

Um yeah, I'm aware they aren't emptying chamberpots. Sheesh. :roll: [/quote]

Well, they are cleaning bed chambers, so the name is still appropriate, if a little old-fashioned-sounding.[/quote]
