You just need to leave a few dollars on the night stand or dresser the day you leave. The maids are well aware of your departure date.
I am beyond amazed that so many people were never taught this.
I confess, I didn’t know. And I always prided myself on tipping waiters, barbers and bellhops.
Perhaps it’s because you don’t usually deal with the maids on a face-to-face basis that people generally don’t tip them.
Now this thread has made me feel like a complete heel. Lesson learned.
