A Night at the Palms
There's been a wealth of articles on tipping in the past few months. How much, who, when, in what countries, you name it; there's always a situation where a few bucks grease the wheels. NY Times business travel columnist Joe Sharkey reveals a new person to tip: the hotel maid.You don't actually get to see them receive the cash--just leave an envelope with a note on the pillow--but it is fast becoming the standard for business travelers, who are apparently at the forefront of tipping. In part, this is due to the new complexity of hotel beds--with duvets and sheets and all-around fanciness, the maid's job has increased in difficulty.
Joe doesn't mention what to tip a sexy French Maid, though. C'mon, Joe, that's crucial information!
