Such great ideas, Patricia! I’m lucky if I remember to slap some bills on the bed before I head out – but I had never thought of leaving a note – that is GENIUS and I will start doing it. What a great way to show appreciation! Thank you!

Not only do we tip, we make a point of trying to befriend the staff that is closest to us. After seeing grumpies all day the simple interaction and a big smile and thank you goes a long way.

Then when we do tip we find the person individually and make sure they know the tip is for them helping us. We’ve had supervisors walk thru checking on the staff and service pick up the tip, and never give it to the staff it was meant for. We track them down and specifically thank them.

It’s as close to what a true ‘tip gesture’ should be in my mind. It always a very warm experience.

Thanks Jaynine,
So happy you liked the article. Leaving the tip each day will insure that it gets to the person that cleans your room each day. Thanks for leaving a comment. Have a beautiful week.
Kind regards,
Patricia

Great article. I did not learn this lesson growing up. But, was introduced to the concept later in life. However, I still was never sure if I should tip daily or at the end of my stay. I like the idea of leaving a note too. Your article takes the mystery out of what to do. Thank you for sharing.
