For those who tip out of some sort of social guilt, why not donate the money to charities instead? It seems much fairer, especially to those who work in low-paying jobs far from the public eye, and wouldn't affect only jobs dominated by one gender.

Sorry, but many of the "maids" I've seen pushing those humungous carts are male. Has the news gotten out that they can make minimum wage cleaning up after others, or are they starting at the bottom working their way up?

Tip the maid. Like your dinner "server." Just do it. Say 15 percent of the room charge, for instance.


Edited for spelling, grammar, and stupidity. Probably didn't get all that stupidty. Ah well.
