Is it a ‘thank you for prepping my room’ or ‘please clean my room today’? If you tip post cleaning, it’s likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?
ETA- I’m in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don’t know what the norm is.
I was about to say, for work trips I absolutely can’t and don’t. I’m not paying for it, I probably don’t want to actually be whenever I’m at anyway. I might for exceptional service on a holiday or if I want quick service again but never do as a standard.
