Default Tipping

As a practical vehicle to encourage folks to leave their homes for a more expensive and yet outworldly experience without a concious thought to the true tally of the experience, tipping is the proprieter's dream.

For the young person's who wallet or purse that waitstaffs, it is the difference of $5.00 per hour or $17.00 per hour. " It really does fluctuate this much, night to night".

I would leave it to the diner or guest to decide what they wanted to leave as a tip in either a dinning or an overnight situation. The mystery hotel sounds like they are experimenting with a new maximum diner rule, for rooms though.

Personaly, I find it offensive and would, after getting no relief from the management, would never frequent the hotel again. Guest or no guest.
