We never question tipping our waitstaff, car valet, bell-staff, or even our hairdressers. But hotel housekeepers work out-of-site, alone all day, doing very difficult work.

What if we change the expectation of business travelers and the traveling public about leaving a tip for these hard workers? What if we reached into our pocket or purse and left a tip and a note of thanks as we left our room?

If enough of us offered this simple gesture, would it make their day? Could a 50% – 80% increase in income change their life?
