[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tip housekeeping staff routinely but based on this thread, [b]I will do so only if I stay at a hotel for several days or housekeeping provides some sort of exceptional service.[/b]

I really thought it was the done thing to tip housekeeping staff.

PP's point about tipping the staff at work who clean the bathrooms is also valid. Why would there be a distinction between housekeeping staff at a hotel and those at my place of work? I doubt the latter make much more than the former in wages from the employer.[/quote]

Why would you now stop tipping? Because there are people who are saying they don't? But many are saying they do!

If 70% of Americans don't tip housekeeping staff at hotels routinely, it is clearly not the norm to do so. I usually stay in a hotel as part of my business travel and I don't get reimbursed under corporate policy for tips to housekeeping staff. It comes out of my pocket. Given that it is not the norm - and I thought it was - there is no reason that I should incur this expense personally unless there are exceptional factors.[/quote]
