So instead of a tip jar, you are now obligated to pay for a tip by filling out the receipt. Is this becoming common practice at other properties? Do you have to fill out the receipt?
I think it might be preferable if the Concierge Lounge attendant rattled a jar with a few coins and a hand-printed label "Tips" in front of every guest.
