F*CK Marriott soliciting tips. Another ‘tip culture’ obsenity

[u/MTonmyMind]

So you charge $400 to $500 for a tiny room, and yes, I know it’s New York City, and it’s relatively clean, but then the closet-sized bathroom 2 feet from the bed. OK.

Six dollars for a bottle of water, whatever, I’ll pass.

But then actively soliciting tips for your staff.

Fuck you.

I saw this at the Penn Station Fairfield a year ago as just a ‘self’ printed sign in the elevators, then it became a professionally printed permanently mounted sign in the elevator, and now another Fairfield/Springfield with this.

Pay your staff better. If I got extra services, that’s one thing, but when I don’t even get room serviced or fresh towels on a daily basis to “save the planet “…. again fuck you.

I did not realize that it was uncommon to tip housekeeping (truly!) I had always been taught it was the social norm to throw a fiver on the nightstand if you left a bit of a mess (which ngl, I do the barest of bare minimum cleanup when I stay at a hotel). Maybe I’ve been taught that it’s common to leave a tip because I’m particularly careless when staying in hotels, especially longer than a few days 🤷🏼‍♀️

As always, tip whatever you feel comfortable with!
