Tipping in general is a concept that should just die. Same actually as bonuses. I work at a rather large company where sales closing a deal will get them a bonus. In my job I don't directly deal with customers, so I can never get a bonus. U don't work less hard than sales. I would actually say my job is more stressful. They should just pay people what they're worth.

Bonuses are also used to not have to give a raise.
oh please can we stop them after I get this year bonus? I work at a large company and everyone gets a little bonus. I really need my pitty bonus this year! please Im not a ceo, just a regular poor person
Don't see it as sales getting more than they're worth, see it as them getting less than they're worth the rest of the year. If you still think that's too much, fight for your wage and fight together.
The workers only cribble themselves if they fight eachother. We should all strive to get our rightful piece of the cake.
I always tell people that a bonus is imaginary and should never be considered as part of a job offer.
If you do acheive a partial amount one year the next year the "calculations" to get one will change to fuck you over.
When I moved from the US to NZ I got way superior service then I'd ever had in the US and attempted tipping a "por boir" but they refused it and said if I really felt like giving extra they had a charity I could give to.
Unfortunately I have started seeing tips being asked for by POS in Sydney and Auckland and it made me mad and sad.
I went to a restaurant in Arrowtown yesterday and the POS asked for a tip. I've seen it a couple other places too but usually the worker hits no before giving it to me.
Say it with your vote and with your political involvement. Fucking over employees who depend on tips when you're able to tip is shitty. They already don't get paid enough, they don't need your reminders.
If anything, give the money to the housekeeper directly.
I never saw them. I stayed one night.
Housekeeping would be the only other reasonable people in your room at any point other than if you trashed it requiring management and maintenance. You can leave a tip in the room an Housekeeping has a high probability of getting it.
Leave a tip and also some documentation on how to start a union
You want a tip, here's your tip: seize the means of production.
Best comment in the thread. I'm going to start doing this with EVERY tip I leave.
Maybe a business card with phone numbers of the various large labor unions - restaurants, service workers, etc.
Would have been more impactful if you wrote all that on the card and left it with the manager.
They wouldn’t do anything. A bill is going through the PA senate to raise to $15 across PA by 2028, with consumer price index increases after.
At minimum it would let the hotel manager know how you feel. No way the manager will get the message through your post.
