BonSchwe said:I had to laugh while reading the response from disneychrista who stated "how does she know that the spouse of someone in housekeeping isn't the CEO of a company with a six-figure salary". Does anyone really believe that someone would be cleaning hotel rooms for fun? Regardless whether it's a tipped position or not I will always leave a little something because I like the idea of putting a smile on someones face.
As for you, hokiefan 33, who starts at 0% and goes from there - things do happen that are out of the waitresses control. Yes, it's not your problem but if the waitress has done all she can (including trying to get something comped for you) but is unsuccessful you should not hold it against them. They have bosses too and have to follow their rules.
What is your criteria for deciding the list of whom (tipped position or not) to put a smile on their face?
