I guess I was raised better than to be a cheapskate.

Was taught as a child to tip the maid/service folks, always, whether it be a cheap hotel or a 5 star, always leave a few bucks for the person who’s cleaning up after me.

Unless they work in Vegas or something they are not making a lot of money, and frankly they do far more work than the typical waiter does who I tip for my meal.

Its beyond shameful that this is something that has been forgotten so much that people need reminded of it.

When it comes to tipping a waiter. What about the chef who actually prepared the food?

What about the person who cleans the dishes and handles them far longer than the waiter?

Always been a weird concept that only one person gets a bonus.

It really is, isn’t it?

What kind of cheap bastard doesn’t tip the maid?

You are correct. I have traveled so infrequently since 9-11 that it has slipped my mind. If I stay anywhere again, I'll have to remember.
