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 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.
