I tip most of them as well but not housekeeping. I don’t tip my own maid except 4x a year. I never said their wage was excessive. I said the tipping can be excessive. [/quote]

Tips are what bring their income up to the level of a living wage.[/quote]

But that would then apply to lots of jobs. Example:

Maids at Marriott make between $10-$11 an hour sterling off.

Some Panera employees who clean up start at $8.03 an hour

Jiffy lube technician is $11 an hour.

Wegman’s produce associate is $11.16 and hour.

Dry cleaner employee is $10 an hour.

Micro center employees can start at $8.67.

Point is, I can’t tip the world to give them a livable wage. If you look it up online as I said, most don’t tip housekeeping.

IRK.   DCUM is like fantasy land.  25% tip on after tax meals, $10 valet, $20 housekeeping....seems like a lot of people here pull in +600K/yr[/quote]

This. Tipping would be easy if I was wealthy. Also it's interesting how intensely people argue about tipping certain professions (and judgemental of those who don't from your triple figure HHI hilltop) but there's a million ways we are served by lower/minimum wage workers and don't tip in each and every case. I can't afford to save the world and have to take care of my family first.[/quote]

I hate it when people say "oh, the difference is only a few dollars".  Well, it is makes a difference to the receiver, it can mean the same for the tipper too.[/quote]
