I may be the cheapest person here, but I usually leave a few dollars, because I feel like a jerk if I don't. I HATE that line, though, because I feel the gratuity is already there. But I am afraid my service will be compromised if I stiff anyone at the hotel. I figure that the staff talk and service depends in part on whether you are a good tipper ...</font>
BoSoxFan45,

This is exactly the point I was trying to make above. The line added to the room service bill for an extra tip above the 18% gratuity and the $2.00 delivery charge is not only confusing for some, it's intimidating! You say yourself it makes you feel like a jerk for not adding a few bucks - that's intimidation. Stand your ground!
