But it was NEVER solicited.
Many of the old showers in UC locations offered a shirt pressing service. I've yet to find one that is still active, even in the Polaris Lounges, and would love to know if there are any!
I never considered tipping the shower attendants, though. I nominally tip the bartenders, but I have to say, I haven't seen the same face twice in years (didn't use to be that way), and the service hasn't been tip-inspiring. Pre-merger, I got to know a few of the bartenders in the PCs. But there's so much turnover now in the staff that tipping after the fact won't get you better service the next trip.
