I always add "extra" in the palm. Not alot, but enough to keep them interested. Denis in #14, Milt in #19, Jeff in #25, and 911 freak in #34 are right.

If your going out, or if your staying in, if the service is above acceptable, and if you consider yourself "taken care of", tip the staff. Screw the "added" gratuity. Doesn't really need to be alot (relative) but I have found everything above to be true. Small thoughts count, the service improves, the bar staff responds more quickly, and the tip goes up. This includes hotel cleaning staff. Funny what they can take care of for $2/day
