Somehow, I'm envisioning that Tipski and Tom have both dated Stephanie.

They ARE stephanie.

Tipper, you really aren't too bright are you? If you have a learning disability, I apologize but it really doesn't take a genius to understand what tipski was saying.

What do you give the dope standing in the men's room, watching you pee?

His payment is getting to watch you. No tip required!

$5 minimum...and we are "Bellmen" not "Bellboys"

I thought it was bellhop... and a $5 minimum is exhorbitant for the averaje Joe. A buck a bag with a $2 or $3 minimum is more reasonable. Unless you won at the tables, then $5 or even $10 ...

These posts are so silly, 26 responces re: tipping....GIVE ME A Break!!!!<BR>So funny how other posts that are informative only get 1 or 2 replys.

If he's a hunk, ask him to stay awhile in your room. Then give him a tip.

tell me about it "oh Please" just goes to show some have WAY to much time on their hands *S*

There have to be at least 5 or 6 threads about tipping on this board alone. I received the July edition of Consumer Reports Travel Letter in the mail today and thought it was funny that there is an article entitiled "A Guide to Tipping". The article says $1 per bag, more if it is heavy. It also lists a tipping guide for doorman/chambermaid/concierge/valet/porter and room service. All that tipping can really add up.

Being the good Bellman I am...I always show the guest the nearest fire exit. Isn't that worth a $5 min. tip?

if he's good looking tip him

I have never had a bellman point out the nearest fire exit but it is a great idea.

So when do you tip the concierge & how much. Thanks.
