I consider housekeepers to be the hardest working and often times lowest paid workers in the entire industry. If I find my room in tip-top shape, I always leave two dollars on the bed. I often find extra amenities, a thank you, a verbal thank you in the hallway when returning to my room, some gesture of appreciation. I don't see that most places I tip a couple of dollars.

Yes, it's their job. But it's a hard, dirty job, and I wouldn't want it. If you tip a waiter for bringing your food, you could share a couple of bucks with the person that makes the bed you sleep in. Seems fair and logical to me.
