TIPS or NO TIPS

So if the hotel charges you $3.25 do you tip ontop of that? Not trying to be cheap here - but wanted to see the general consensus. Thanks

I don't get it. What's a "general room charge?" The rate for the room? Sounds low for that.

I always tip, no matter what the "charges" and taxes are.

Room Service delivery charge doesn't to to the staff. It's just another way to overcharge...

...you see the hotels loose so much money, the only way they can break even is $3 at a time

I tip the housekeeper on a daily basis when staying at the hotel. I don't think the General Room Charge has anything to do with housekeeping.

Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?

[bad punchline below in white; drag over it to read]

He stayed up all night wondering if there is a dog.

[end of bad punchline]

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
