Oh Great LJ Brain Trust, explain to me your custom of tipping

I'm sure I'll think of other situations shortly. Oh, and what would you do if you didn't have the right denomination(s) of money? I know it never happens in the movies, but humor me: what if?

Aw crap, I thought of another one already. How about the guy who brings you your mini-bottle of champagne and pours you a glass?

Yep, I put up the do not disturb sign, too. However, a lot of hotels these days have a policy that housekeeping must at least look into the room at least once a day. (Maybe they have to make sure you're making bombs or meth in there.)

I've stayed at US hotels with turn-down service subsequent to this event and they've never searched my luggage, so maybe it is just an English thing.

I guess I would have made a lousy member of the gentry.
