What am I doing here?

I am in a hotel, a beautiful stunning lavishly-appointed hotel, where people come upstairs to show me personally to my room and where the welcome drink is a half-size bottle of imported French champagne. The "night head butler" just gave me a tour of some of the nicer rooms. "Here," he says, "is the owner's room. He's dating two Playboy models, so..." and he gestures to the enormous bed, "and I've just checked that his favorite drink is ready for him. Let's see the suite where Jack Nicholson stayed last..." I am not making this up. I don't know whether he was making this up.

I do not have enough money to TIP appropriately in this place. Thank God I won't have to pay the actual BILL.

I had really better get some good info for my company on this trip. Holy MOLY.

I don't even know WHAT to tip or HOW to tip! I was scrambling along trying to follow someone to my room and simultaneously dig a couple bucks out of my wallet which was inside my messenger bag... aaagh! I'm sure people get better at that sort of thing, but, well, I haven't exactly had practice. :)
