Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

[TheRealTMA]

The carry-no-cash-can't-tip problem had been obviated at a hotel in Vancouver recently: there was QR code payment portal option shown on multiple stickers in the room!

Like tips at Roux Michelin restaurants in London, so it then just goes to the hotel and not workers.

On an FB site I’m on, with a few others from here, someone said you should too housekeeping 10% of the room rate in the USA. Absolutely nuts

Yep, seriously. I'm not sure if they are aware how nuts they sound.

Because they stay in $25 rooms?

Considering the page, I suspect not.

Unfortunately, we are judged by others whether we like it or not.

Anyway, when in Thailand, do as …..

And whether we think it’s right, or not.

Edited

I'm not sure I understand. Thailand does not have a tipping culture. If you dine out where locals dine they don't leave tips, if they do it might be a few small coins.

In USA? I don't care if workers are not paid enough. It's not for me to supplement their salaries. They need to start a union and seek better pay.

P.S. I don't get paid enough. I travel economy, stay in 2-3 star hotels and eat cheap food by making my own food. For me it's the opportunity to get out of here for a break.

Grinches abound.

Judgemental much

Judgemental much

Oh, and so it continues

Edit: Tipping threads are usually somewhat divisive
