Only time i have was when I spent 6 weeks at a location and became friends with our cleaning staff. I left both ladies a bottle of bourbon each. I learned through our passing chats they enjoyed good bourbon You were raised in a barn.
December 1, 20187 yr Do you tip the girl/guy at the grocery store that scanned your groceries? You should since it is their job to do so and get paid about the same as the maid service at your hotel. The guy at the grocery store isn’t handling your jizz-soaked linens

December 1, 20187 yr I tip housekeeping at the end of my stay. I wouldn’t call it one of my hobbies, though.
December 1, 20187 yr Leave money under the pillows each night if the room will be changed. If not, leave a lump sum at the end of the stay. Tip the luggage guy. Tip the butler (if it's a place that has one). Factor this amount into each travel vacation. Reading Shaggy threads, I realize I probably fall on the overtip part of things, but life is short and it's not a big deal

December 3, 20187 yr Nor scrubbing your shit from the toilet and sweeping/mopping/vacuuming your pubes up.Who the fuck doesn t shave?
October 30, 20196 yr every fucking time hell yeah. I don't allow daily cleans though, so it might be a 2 or 3 day cleanup at the end.
October 30, 20196 yr Bro In Law used to work for Lucent Technologies back in the day and had a co-worker on his team that would expense a $20 tip. They stopped that shit real fast.
October 31, 20196 yr If it's a multi-day stay, I leave a decent tip the first night and don't tip for a few days. I've found it pays off in little extra perks like an extra bottle of water or another shampoo if they see you using a lot of it. If a single day, then I leave a small tip. I also leave a small tip in airport lounge showers if I use the shower, as they have to mop and dry it for the next person.

October 28Oct 28 Usually travel with the dog....hotels have upped the $20 nightly dog fee to $40 or more. The maids, who obviously have more work due to the dog hair, don't see a penny of this, so I leave a tenner for each nights stay.

I hang my Do Not Disturb sign for the duration of my stay (unless I run out of towels - a relative rarity) so I figure it's only fair in case the housekeeper only gets paid based on the number of rooms she cleans. I still don't like the daily intrusion unless I am running out of towels or washcloths (but I rarely stay anywhere long enough to get to that point, and if I do, I will generally try to acquire whatever I need myself), but post-pandemic, I have been tipping $5 per night at the end of my stay regardless of city or hotel.

October 28Oct 28 this thread makes me so...curious, I suppose, about the surly "I never carry cash" contingent. I guess they never tip...or do they ask Consuela the hotel maid for her fucking Venmo?
October 29Oct 29 this thread makes me so...curious, I suppose, about the surly "I never carry cash" contingent. I guess they never tip...or do they ask Consuela the hotel maid for her fucking Venmo?I went to a hotel a few months ago that had a QR code to scan so you could tip the cleaning crew. Take you to a link and enter a card number. I’d rather be able to add it to the room fee.
October 29Oct 29 and instead of going home with money in her pocket, she waits several days and then gets taxed on the deal. Your 10 dollar tip just became a 6 dollar tip.

Yet I also carry cash when I travel by planning ahead, and you know....getting some cash. Drivers. Room service. Bartenders. Drop the maid a $20 you cheap fucks.
October 29Oct 29 Since the cleaning staff can (and usually does) rotate daily, I typically try to tip each day.

I’m surprised a company that size didn’t have a diminimis reimbursable expense policy. When I worked for a huge global industrial company we didn’t need a receipt for anything under $75. And before you point out the obvious, I’m sure there was some light abuse, but when the company did the math, it wasn’t worth policing, because serious abusers operate on a different level.

IMHO- no offense to super credit card tippers unaware of taxation... @Brisketexan did make a good point, in tipping daily, to make sure the worker who does the cleaning that day gets the tip. If we stay a week, we might have the maid come in twice. We might ask for towels if we see them, So we do a lot of big back end tipping. (pun intended)

I usually find the cleaning lady and trade wet towels and $5 for some fresh ones.
