How much do you Tip?

[BriarfoxinWA]

Just wondering how much to plan on for tipping Housekeeping. What does everyone else do?

[lvs_eeyore]

We usually tip five dollars a day for a family of four. I leave it on the table daily in an envelope marked specifically for housekeeping. That way they know it is for them.

[Laurabearz]

We also leave 5 bucks a day.... sometimes more if the kids are extra messy......
:rolleyes:

[SamSam]

For Dh and I, we leave $3 a day. The standard ( at least on these boards) appears to be $1 a day per person. Of course, whatever you are comfortable doing is certainly okay.

[Beverly Lynn]

if I am staying at a deluxe resort I don't usually tip. I am paying a lot for that room and they are paid for making the bed and giving new towels. if they did something outstanding then I could see it,but they don't. I know I am not alone in this a few people have pm'd me every time I have posted this saying they agree with me but don't want to get flamed. I wear a flame retardent suit.

[Patrick IL.]

We always leave at least $5 a day for a family, I even have left that when I was solo on sight. :)

[atruesag]

Beverly - do you tip if you stay in a Moderate or Value resort?? The Housekeepers make the same hourly wage regardless of which resort they work in - pay is based on senority not resort location.

[RussH]

For me I am usually solo and not really messy just a pile of towels in the tub except that piece of Pizza stuck to the ceiling once. So I tip $3 a day unless out of singles then a 5. By the end of a week normally there are 10-15 extra towels and a dozen Micket soaps.
Checkout day is where housekeeping makes out with my room. I leave all the change collected during the week in a very large pile.
RussH

[BriarfoxinWA]

Thanks for the advice!

I had been planning on leaving $5 per day - but I saw some posts on another thread that said they only left $2. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving way more than necessary. Of course it they do a really great job - or a terrible job - I can always adjust the amount. My DS's just had a great time making up "mousekeeping" envelopes to leave the tip in. I'm ready to go - but my trip isn't until JUNE!

[Limmer]

Beverly Lynn, if you go to an expensive restaurant do you tip less then going when you are at Denny's? Penalizing the staff is a poor way to save a few dollars. JMHO

I personally tip housekeeping but Disney doesn't consider houskeeping a tipped position. Check any of the resort guides. Waiters, bellhops etc are all listed but houskeeping is not. Disney pays the housekeepers enough so that (in Disney's opinion) tips are not required.
This is different than not tipping a waiter in which their salary doesn't even get them minimum wage without tips. I generally don't put change in the tip cup in fast food restaurants but others do.
That said Beverly I agree with others there is no greater (or lesser) reason to tip in one resort than another.

[Ricola]

We usually tip 3 or 4 bucks a day, more if we get some special service.

[eeyore0062]

Our standard is $1 per person per night...more if there are extras like washcloth animals or special arrangements of DD's stuffed animals and dolls.

[Debi]

When I travel solo, I tip $2/day, but when traveling with family, I tip $4-$5/day.

[princess angel]

dh and I tip $5 a day for housekeeping and $2 a day for turndown service, my goodness can that add up during a long trip!!!

Laura :)

[jdads2]

We ussually tipped $5 a day at the Poly. When they made us an elephant and a conoe we tipped more. We still are using the soap, shampoo and hand lotion from our October 2001 trip!! We aren't even half way through.:D

[jaguar9748]

We've actually had housekeepers not pick up the envelope which is clearly marked?! This is certainly something to debate. I for one have never had any different service whether I tip or not. I've never had a towel animal left, but have always received the extra "stuff" that I leave a note about (usually towels or plastic bags!). Still, I tip $5 a day because that seems to be the going rate overall and I tip the same regardless of moderate, deluxe or villa. :rolleyes:

I have never tiped housekeeping at any hotel/motel I have stayed at and I don't plan to start at WDW. It is housekeeping job to do what they do. Like Beverly Lynn stated, if they did something outstanding then I might but for the sandard make the bed and bring clean towels, I won't, even at disney.

[raidermatt]

Of course, its also the waitresses's job to bring my food, its the valet's job to bring my car, its the hair-cutter's job to cut my hair, its the taxi drivers job to drive his taxi, etc...

I'm not sure what the housekeepers get paid in various hotels/motels, but I'm pretty confident that its not so much that I need to resent giving them a few bucks a day.

I guess if I saw them roll up in a Mercedes I might think differently, but until then...

But of course, its a free country and we are each free to tip or not-tip as we see fit.

[Tiffany]

We tip the standard. $1 per person per day. It is just my husband and I and we are pretty neat so $2 a day from us.

[Tluvs2talk]

I have never tipped housekeeping either. I don't think I should feel guilty because I don't. When I worked in retail for 8 years I personally picked outfits for individuals, carried the clothing to the dressing room. swapped out sizes, hung up everything tried on in dressing room and rung up the purchase. ( on ocassion I was asked to steam the clothing being purchased and carry it to the car.) All this service for a little over minimum wage. I NEVER received a tip nor expected one. We live in a society when employers don't want to pay their employees a fair wage and expect the consumer to take up the slack. Such as tipping hairdressers, waiter's or waitresses, bell hops, and bar tender's just to name a few. Yes I tip these individuals, but feel the employers should pay them not me. Now I am expected to tip housekepping for doing the job they are paid to do. I would rather leave a small gift and thankyou note...

All this is true, and I do not feel I should have to tip any of them either. In California they are paid at least minimum wage. I, like many other who have worked for minimum wage, never recieved tips.

To me a tip is something you give for doing something extra, not for doing your job.

[Lewisc]

Unfortunately this is not correct
In most parts of the country tipped positions are paid less than the minimum wage and at least for waiters the IRS imputes the estimated amount of tips and adds it their income. The waiter is literally paying money to the IRS for the privledge of serving cheap people who stiff them. You may not like the policy but you know the bellhop is paid with tips.

[raidermatt]

I don't like being told what I "should" do anymore than the next guy. But it sure isn't the server/housekeepers fault that things are set-up the way they are.

And yes, I've also worked in minimum wage non-tipped positions. I sure would have liked to get tips, but that's not housekeeping's fault.

Its true, there are some jobs where its just not traditional to tip, and others where it is. I'm not trying to justify why it is the way it is. I'm just saying that withholding a tip isn't going to change the fact that tips are a necessary part of some people's income.

[sudiequ]

My grandmother taught me all i know about tipping. Her theory was (it might be out of date) $1 per person/per nite/per bag whatever. Being wheelchaired in an airport would be either $5-$8 depending on her ride. I am more than happy to tip housekeeping, cleaning ones own bathroom can be disgusting, let alone someone elses....even if you are neat.

I simply can't understand why someone would tip a person carrying your bag to your room, but not someone who cleans your bathroom. You and God know where your bath towels have been (sorry for the visual people), but come on....you stay in a deluxe resort and can't spend another $5???? :( i don't get it.

I am an accountant and I know FULL WELL that the servers and bartender in the tavern that I work for, get at least twice the 8% that is allocated to them as tips and not one of them claims this "extra" as income. So is it fair to us that get taxed on 100% of our wages to "supplement" their income with TAX FREE money? I think not.

An in california, the place I live do get paid full minimum wage of $6.25/hour.

[Tluvs2talk]

Thought I would add one more thing. I know that people who are in jobs that normally receive tips work hard for their money, but so do I. When we eat in a nice restaraunt, the tip I leave usually exceeds what I make hourly. My whole point is that employer's should be required to pay a fair wage, and not count on me to help pay their employee's mortgage. Yes, that is life. Yes, I still tip. I just want to know where the tipping is suppose to end? You tip the guy parking your car, then you tip the guy who brings your luggage to your room, Then you tip the guy who bring's your food. Now I am suppose to tip the person who cleans my room. Before long I will be expected to tip the person who checks me in. If you want to tip houskeeping , by all means do so. I think I will stick to a nice thank-you note and gift for houskeeping for now. :)

[boltjames]

raidermatt (and others): Have to chime in on this one.

For the waiter analogy: As a waiter in my youth I was paid far below minimum wage as the tips represented about 75% of my weekly salary. Patrons know that their tip is *salary* and not a nice little extra. Once upon a time in the booming Catskills of the 1950's the housekeepers were paid like waiters. Hotels would stiff them on base pay and they'd be satisfied on tips as most guests would stay 7 full nights and develop a kinship with their maids. Not any more. Why? The housekeepers work staggered hours and often develop no relationship with their patrons who come and go as they please on no set schedule.

For the bellhop analogy: These guys (like housekeepers) are paid more than minimum wage as tips are not substantial enough to warrant their employment. Their job is to simply deliver bags to rooms. If they carry the bags into the room, hang up some clothes, and make an effort I'll tip 'em $1 per bag. If not, I say "thanks" and that's that.

Housekeepers: They make a full salary to do their jobs. If I make a call and request something (extra towels usually) I'll tip a few bucks as it's above-and-beyond the day job. If I am super messy, I'll feel bad and leave a few bucks too. But for "normal" hotel room living there's no need to tip whatsoever. I don't tip a toll booth clerk for giving me change. I don't tip a gas station attendant for filling my tank. I don't tip my doctor for making me healthy. I don't tip housekeepers (or cute Mousekeepers for that matter) for doing their jobs.

[LKS]

There is an article about exactly this subject in National Geographic Traveler this month. They did a study (albeit in NYC) where they determined that guest surveys indicated that 15-25% of guests tip housekeeping, but when they actually had students clean the rooms, only 5% tipped. They go on to explain that housekeeping is not considered a "tipped" position and that even the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union does not consider housekeeping a tipped position when it negotiates collective bargaining agreements. They showed the average hourly wages of US hotel employees where bellhops get $5.75, bartenders $6.00, and housekeepers $6.92. Because bellhops get so many more tips, they end up making more per hour. (So Boltjames, those bellhops are considered a tipped position that can be paid below minimum wage) They said that at one hotel studied, housekeepers "appreciate tips, but do not expect them."

Anyway, the tipping of housekeepers is nice, but just extra, and not expected like the tipping of waiters, bartenders and bellhops.

Just an aside, I have had, during my lifetime, quite a few housekeepers make their own tips by selecting something of mine that they would like to have. Not at Disney, thank goodness!

[dumboroo]

We tip five dollars a day for a family of five. Our room was never very messy, we tried to keep our personal belongings out of the way of the housekeeper so he or she could have an easier time.

[HoosierFantasia]

Heck no!
As some other posters have said, if they go beyond their normal duties I would consider it. BUt just to do the job they get paid to do, I don't think so.
However, if I call and request a special item (crib, toothbrush, something I forgot) then I do tip.
It amazes me when people think that a gratuity is required. If I go to a restaraunt and get lousy service, they get a lousy tip. Occasionally the waiter will actually question me on the little or no tip. That is always a fun conversation as too they are never thrilled with the truth as to why such a little tip.

Has anyone ever tipped the bus drivers that transport you around the World? They even open the door for you and sometimes talk to you during the ride! Sorry just being a smarta**!

Bill

[Lewisc]

HoosierFantasia
Has anyone ever tipped the bus drivers....
You're not being a sm**** but making a good point. Some jobs (waiters, skycaps....) our tip isn't for extra service but the customer is literally paying the salary of the employee (and the IRS imputes our tips for tax purposes). Other positions (bus driver,desk clerk...) tips are given for exceptional service.

To me a tip is something you give for doing something extra, not for doing your job.

California and I believe Oregon have different mandated minimums for service industry wages than the Federal Law allows. But in most states, that is not the case. In FL I believe food servers are only paid about $2.50 per hour. They are taxed 8% of their guest checks as tip income wherether they get a tip or not. So if you stiff the server, they have actually lost money by serving you.

The way I look at it, anyone who has the money for a WDW vacation shouldn't begrudge a few bucks a day to a housekeeper, a 15-20% tip to a server, a buck or two to a bell hop, etc. You might not think that housekeepers do much, but it's a hard, backbreaking job. Most people who do this work do'nt do it because they enjoy it, they do it because they need the money, and it's the only/best job they can get. Most rooms that I've stayed in at WDW have been spotlessly clean, and are kept that way during my entire stay. Requests for extra toiletries are always met, adn the towel animals are an added bonus, especially when we get a duck :)

My housekeeper at the GF in January even touched the disgusting clothes that my husband had run the marathon in before I had a chance to launder them. They were hanging over the edge of the tub and Demaris (the housekeper) I think thought they were wet because they had been washed or rinsed out, and hung them over the clothesline instead of leaving them over the side of the tub where they were. Ugh. I don't even touch them after he runs in them, I pick them up with a plastic bag and dump them straight into the washer. Between the sweat and the rain/mud, they were just downright nasty!! I felt so terrible that she had touched them that I left a few extra dollars for that one! :)

Anne

[tripben]

I agree with Anne on the tipping, the mousekeepers even made a cute arrangement with our nasty sweaty sneakers we left laying all over the floor.

I have always received wonderful service from Disney from value to deluxe resorts. While on vacation we are slobs and I really appreciate being able to have someone pick up after me for a change and I will pay extra for that priviledge!

I may be eating peanut butter sandwiches for lunch for the rest of the month, but I don't begrudge leaving the tip money for any of the employees at Disney that made my vacation so wonderful.

If I ever had bad service at Disney or anywhere else I would tip or not tip appropriately, but up until now I have had only excellent service. I find myself comparing service at resturants from my town to the ones at Disney and so far there is no comparison.

I wouldn't think to judge someone negatively that did not tip, but personnaly I feel like a better person for having appreciated good service when I got it.

Sam

[ZuZugal]

I have another question to add. We usually tip $1 per person per night, BUT aren't there 2 different housekeepers? (At the deluxe resorts anyway.) One comes in the morning, and then another for turn down service which can also include other housekeeping duties for the day. When do you tip??? Morning or evening?

[ducklite]

I tip both. $1-2 per person in the morning, and $1-2 total for turn down service.

Anne

[Gillian]

I am also going to agree with Anne on this one (wow :) ). I treat myself to extras when I go to Disney, and hopefully by leaving a tip, I am giving the housekeeper a little treat as well. It's not much, but I like giving it, just as I like leaving nice tips at a restaurant. Not being obligated adds to the feeling.

I know it is appreciated, because I have occasionally had the chance to give a housekeeping tip in person (not at Disney).

[Bob NC]

After questioning some friends, neighbors and relatives, I believe the results of a study someone mentioned earlier that about 5% of folks tip housekeeping. I would even believe that 5% may be a little high.

My former child care provider also works in the housekeeping department at the local Airport Marriott. She took the job knowing what she would make per hour, (Slightly above minimum wage). She had to decide whether or not to take the position..... there were things she liked, (hours), and disliked, (pay), about the job. She did not take tips into account when accepting the position, and it's a good thing because she got VERY few.

I tip when housekeeping goes above the call of duty, ie: The room is especially messy; I request something extra, etc.

This thread is discussing bartenders, waitresses, valets, when the original query was about Disney Housekeeper. 'Tipped" and "Non-tipped" positions can't be compared accurately in this way. Disney housekeeping is classified by Disney itself as a 'non-tipped' position.

It seems that a lot of posters are trying to make folks feel guilty by talking about not 'begrudging' housekeepers their tips; Mentioning how hard they work, etc...And I have yet to see one of these arguments that makes economic or logical sense. If you bring up the fact that they don't make much and work hard therefore they deserve a tip, well, logically wouldn't that person also be tipping the landscaper, or every other hard working, low wage earner they come in contact with during the day? Another common thing mentioned is that they are required to handle nasty, disgusting dirty clothes, towels and such. A lot of jobs, many low wage, have that exact same requirement. Ever hear of anyone tipping the minimum wage cleaner at the hospital?...I'm guessing they run acroos stuff cleaning hospital rooms that Disney housekeepers never run across.

Some people just feel it's 'right' to tip housekeeping, and nobody could argue with that. Sometimes though, they try to make others feel that it's 'expected', or you are in some way doing something 'wrong' by not tipping.

Tipping is neither expected or required, heck, I don't even think it's common.

[Ted and Holly]

Let me start out by saying that we tip usually $3 per day for the two of us for housekeeping.

Bob, I don't think that everyone that stated their case FOR tipping was trying to make those who stated their case AGAINST tipping feel guilty, or anything else. Ducklite was saying that they did not have anything against tipping. Obviously, those who posted why they do not tip DO have something against it.

This started as a post of how much. As with many posts that started this way, it ended up being a debate about why you should or shouldn't. I don't see anyone trying to make anyone else feel guilty for their beliefs and it should stay that way. And it should be this way FOR and AGAINST.

Ted

[Bob NC]

ok.....Just the amounts.....If I ask a housekeeper to get me some extra towels, I'll tip a couple of bucks.

If the room is messier than I feel it should be, I'll tip $5 or $7 for our family of 4.

If the housekeeper simply does her job, I generally do not tip.

[raidermatt]

Ted and Holly is/are correct (at least for me), I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty. If you feel guilty, there's a reason, and you can't peg that on me. If you don't feel guilty, you've got no worries and my tipping shouldn't bother you in the least.

Again, if you don't want to tip, don't. My personal reason is pretty simple:

They are handling our bedding, our used towels, cleaning up any messes we made, etc. To me, this is a personal service worthy of a couple of bucks.

Maybe they get paid the minimum wage or a little more, but last I checked, this isn't exactly going to send little Jimmy to college. Somebody getting paid minimum wage may not be a reason to tip, but its definitely not a reason to NOT tip either.

Also, if I'm at WDW, and I'm going to miss that small amount of money that much, from my point of view, I probably should be vacationing elsewhere. (again, doesn't mean YOU should go elsewhere, because that's up to you. It just means I would.)

For the original poster, who asked how much we tip, my answer is $3-5 per day for our family of three, depending on service.

[BriarfoxinWA]

Thanks Raidermatt. I don't normally tip housekeeping if I'm only staying for 1 night or by myself. But this trip will be 11 days with the whole family. My original post was not - whether to tip or not - but how much seemed appropriate. I've already been accumulating $5 bills in my "mousekeeping" envelopes to take with me.

It's definately an individual's decision - for me, I can afford the $5 per day. Maybe it will brighten somebody's day to get that little something extra...

[WDW2002]

They are taxed 8% of their guest checks as tip income wherether they get a tip or not. So if you stiff the server, they have actually lost money by serving you
Housekeeping is considered NOT to be a tiped position, any tip they do receive I am sure is not reported or taxed. And servers (in my experiece) make 15 - 20 % average of their guest checks (even when someone "stiffs" them) in tips, so over half is not taxed, so they are making out like bandits when it comes tips & taxes.

I will continue to tip as I see fit. I do tip most of the time at restaurants, I will not tip housekeeping, and I prefer to handle my own bags, so I will not be using bell service.

Someone asked about bus drivers, and I did see quite a few people tiping the driver of the shuttle driver from our hotel to Disneyland.

I am not going to tell someone how they should be spending their money, but I don't want someone how to spend mine either.

[Ityldu]

I few years back I cleaned rooms at a very upscale resort for the summer. After 3 months I think I remember getting only 1 tip. I didn't even know until reading the DIS, that it was expected to tip. Now I just learned that I'm also supposed to tip if they bring us extra towels or an extra blanket.

When I waitress, I'm a very big tipper, usually 20%+. I waitressed and some weeks actually ended up owing money. It was a rest. visited mostly by seniors on a very tight budget thus very little tipping. (I didn't stay there long)

I do tip when I'm at Disney, mostly b/c I feel so fortunate and happy, that I want to spread the cheer. I do get resentful of the non-stop tipping. We rarely carry much cash. We use debit cards for everything. If we have cash it's usually a $20 bill. I hate having to feel like I need to have a wad of singles in my pocket constantly when on vacation. I would much rather park my own car and bring up my own bags. I truly don't feel that I'm cheap, I love doing things like going through a toll and paying for the stranger behind me. Even now I feel like I have to justify how I spend my money. I know no one here is trying to make me feel guilty, I just always do.

I am not trying to make anyone feel guilty about their choice to tip or not tip housekeeping. (Servers are a different story, unless you have really bad service, IMHO it's just wrong to stiff a server) I was simply pointing out that many people think all they do is make the beds. They do a lot more than that. And despite that, they still take the time to make towel animals and greet you with a friendly smile.

In my part of the country, hospital housekeepers make upwards of $10 per hour, while hotel housekeepers are generally paid a touch above minimum wage (our state minimum is slightly higher than the Federal, but it doesn't keep up with our much higher cost of living.) The hospital folks are also given a very lucrative benefits packages, hotel housekeeping generally does not get similar benefits. I've seen some really trashed hotel rooms. There was one at the GF the last time I stayed there that was so bad thye had to clean the carpets and replace the drapes before they could use it again.

I have tipped or given a token gift to other generally non-tipped positions when I felt that the person went out of their way to assist me or somehow made my trip more magical. People such as desk clerks and yes, even a grounds keeper once. Why not? I enjoy giving them a litle something. It makes me feel good. I also take names and write letters after each trip, making sure to mention by name the people who made my trip particularly memorable.

If anyone chooses not to tip housekeeping, that's their perogative. I do choose to tip. I feel very fortunate that I can afford to travel to WDW regularly. I think that the cast members add much to our visits. I'd hate to see them leave for other (better paying) jobs and be replaced with people who don't care about making magic. So if a couple bucks a day will help keep a good cast member happy so they continue to make the magic, it's worth it to me :)

Regardless of the tax implications, they are only making $2.50 an hour pay in most states. The government has decided that there is reasonable expectation that they will receive tips, and therefore taxes them. They aren't taxed on the full amount because they are already being paid less than the minimum wage.

This is incorrect. They are suppose to report 100% of their tips and be taxed one 100% of them. The government imposed the 8% rule because most do not do this.

:bounce: Tipping is all about how you feel really.If you think the housekeepers have done a great job and gone beyound in there effort,well take care of them.Make sure you leave it each day.If you leave it at the end of your visit it might be picked-up by a maid who only worked on your room that one day.I will usally give $5.00 a cleaning. I think about the work they are doing,how much they might be making(it's Orlando after all,they mostly make $6.00 to $10.00 an hour) and I even get into conversation with them at times about there familys.Most if not all of these workers could never afford to stay in the rooms we are staying in. I drive my wife nuts because I love to talk to people and I learn alot by doing so.From talking to the bar tenders and other service personel I have learned over the years that the people who can most afford it,are usally the ones who tip the least if at all. They always have the excuse that they paid alot for what ever.They are also the ones who complain the most.So tip what ever you want,but the going rate at a place like the Boardwalk and Beach Club is $5.00 each cleaning.(how do you think rich people get rich,they keep it all for themselfs) :jester:

[HoosierFantasia]

You make that sould like a bad thing!

I am curious if the people on here that tip housekeeping have a maid or cleaning service at home clean up after them or not. And if you do, do you pay them for the job they do and then tip them?

Did I get anyone really fired up with that question?
