Housekeepers are not servers, or valets. They get paid ... it isn't my job to pity-tip them ... especially when it is very obvious to me that 95% of the time my room is made to appear clean, instead of actually being cleaned. When the furniture isn't sticky. When there isn't cereal on the floor. When there isn't mystery stains on the walls. When the sheets aren't torn or have blood stains (a VERY common WDW issue). When there isn't hair all over the bathroom floor. When the space under the beds is vacuumed regularly. When the nightstand is dusted and the phone and remote disinfected ... well, then I'll consider leaving something ... but not now. No way.
