I do know it's customary to tip a concierge, although I don't really know how much. Personally, I just do whatever feels right based on the service that was provided. If I don't use them at all, then I don't tip at all.
Bad comparision, actually as usual tipping is country dependent. For me NA waiters are NO real employee of the restaurant, since the tips are basically their income. Here in Europe they are basically paid by the restaurant and get tips for the good service.
Where as exec/rc level stuff is in that sense really employed by the hotel (they get a normal salary).
