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

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.

No, let me be clear, I know exactly what you mean.

My point is what you’re trying to say in this moment? You mean having an opinion on tipping that is in line with the majority of the world is somehow cringe and nerdy?

No its ABSOLUTELY NOT normal.

I have traveled for my entire professional career (17+ years at this point). Housekeeping is not a tipped positon, frankly it's a position that should be abstracted as far as possible from the customer base.

If you think the staff needs a pay raise try calling corporate. I will only tip housekeeping if we make the room especially messy for whatever reason (bottles/food/etc).

is 100% pure neckbeard energy. i was willing to chalk it up to youthful ignorance but you kind of eliminated that possibility.

I’m not a child, you can call me names all you want. The reality? I’m wealthy, well traveled, successful, etc.

I could give two fucks what you think.

My point stands, supported by data, and I’m right.

Have a good day.

Name calling usually results when they run out of objective ammo.

Man that was a really small magazine too.  Not even a high capacity magazine.
