Tipping in a Luxury Hotel
« Reply #128 on: February 20, 2014, 06:16:57 PM »
When staying in a luxury hotel, do you tip? Who do you tip (ex. valet parking, bellhop) and how much?

Tipping at catered meal
« Reply #130 on: February 20, 2014, 07:12:50 PM »
Was curious if anyone has experience hosting a catered meal - Bar Mitzvah, Shabbos Sheva Brachos, etc. Did you tip the waiters? Were the waiters paid a salary in addition to any potential tip? What % did you tip? Was the % based only on the food or did you include the waiters' salaries in the total cost before you calculated the tip?

if you want quick service then tip the valet more than you normally would- and valet is always tipped even if not luxury hotel

it's a good question bec if i'm in and out of valet 3x per day for 2-4 days,
then i'd rather give $10 - $20 tip one time (after the $40 per night!) at the end.

instead of $2 - $3 each time i go out and come in..

Reminds me how when I was newly wed, we went out to eat, and when we asked for the check the waitress told us some random guys paid for us.

That never happened to me (and never has since). I felt like such a celebrity. I left the place and then it hit me that I still shoulda left a tip. I still kinda regret it

if they were random, how did they know you were newlywed?

i think your better off giving 10-20 the first time and then they will treat you better the rest of the stay and then you tip 2-3 every time after

The owner knew (long story). He gave us a big, loud greeting when we walked in
