In a restaurant to you go to the service area grab the glasses and water pitcher and pour your own water.And then do you carry your own food from the kitchen to your table?

You grabbed one of the tools these fellas use to make a living-and then cheated them out of a couple of bucks.Bad form IMO.

If I have more than a rolling bag and a tote(my usual amount of luggage)I let the bellhops do the heavy lifting=small price to pay and it helps the economy.
