I've seen these, and always found them offensive. What kind of service do I get if I don't tip? What if I tip all the last night instead of two quarters daily, am I supposed to let Housekeeping staff know that that is my plan? And the one you cited is even more offensive. The word they wanted is ensure, not insure, unless the hotel views that 50¢ as the premium for an insurance policy against poor service from Housekeeping!
