Huffington Post - A lot of Americans don't tip hotel housekeeping staff, and many have no idea that they should, a new HuffPost/YouGov poll shows.
...According to the new poll, only 46 percent of Americans say they usually tip hotel housekeepers. Another 23 percent said they've never been in the situation to do so.
On one hand, the 46 percent who say they tip housekeepers is more than those who say they don't tip housekeepers (32 percent). On the other hand, it's far fewer than say they tip many other types of workers, including waiters (95 percent), hairstylists or barbers (81 percent), bellhops (56 percent) and taxi drivers (53 percent). Forty-eight percent said they typically tip parking attendants. The 32 percent of people who said they don't usually tip hotel housekeeping staff was double the percentage of people who don't tip other types of worker.

In this economy, I mostly choose to stay home and make do, then go anywhere that I will need to pay a tip. I can barely afford to go out and do things in the first place, and adding the 20% tip to the cost makes going out too expensive. This is true of restaurants, hotels, cab rides, hair cuts, everything that requires a tip.
