From another thread: > [@How are hotel maids compensated?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-are-hotel-maids-compensated/634767/26): > > Tipping in hotels is the convention, whether you are a slob or not. I REALLY, REALLY hate ignorant statements like this. I have never tipped in a motel. (It’s motel, not hotel.) My parents have never tipped in a motel. My grandparents never tipped in a motel. Nobody that I know has ever tipped in a motel to my knowledge. People like you are ignorant, stupid, and greedy, and you encourage greed. It’s people like you that make mailmen, barbers, and everybody else under the sun go around with out-stretched hands begging for a tip (AKA undeserved handout). [Note–I exempt waiters and waitresses from this statement–tipping them is traditional. The others aren’t.] You are very lucky that stupidity is not a crime, because if it were, you would be tortured to death as punishment. **CookingWithGas,** you are a worthless, ignorant, filthy, stinking pile of garbage, pus, and vomit. I hope that you have bad luck and worse things for the rest of your life. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/encouraging-greed/634948)._
