It is.

Also, who the hell carries $5 bills anymore.  So you’re telling me I gotta now go outta my way to an ATM to get cash, which will probably charge me an outrageous surcharge fee for a withdrawal, then make another stop to buy something or ask a cashier to break the $20 bills the machine only spits out?  All so I can tip a valet guy?  What a PITA.

The hotel should just pay them appropriately in the first place.  Cash is dying.  Many people these days never carry any, so it’s much more of a PITA to tip now. [/quote]

When you travel, you need to prepare and plan. Part of that is going to a bank and withdrawing a bunch of 5s for tips. [/quote]

Why? It's not like the valet won't bring the car, he just doesn't get a tip for it.[/quote]

You know you're hurting the most vulnerable person in this whole situation, right? You're not sticking it to the man, you're sticking it to the guy who counts on your $5 to buy a loaf of bread. And if you're traveling for work, it's not even YOUR money! [/quote]

I’m so sick and tired of being browbeaten by this logic. If the guy needs to buy a loaf of bread, his employer needs to pay him a living wage and not rely on me to pay him. That’s who he needs to complain to. I already paid the parking fee which is more than exuberant. You are not being virtuous and saving the little man. You are perpetuating corporate greed. How much did the CEO of Mariott make? Does he care about his own employees as much you want me to care? [/quote]
