Tipping

Post by kaytieeldr » Fri Feb 19, 2010 10:39 pm

Are Mousekeepers allowed to accept/keep tips, or must any tips be turned over to Management? I know it's not an officially tipped position; I've heard both possibilities, and the facts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I always tip.
My favorite one is "Stay out of dark alleys at night". :rolleyes:

Mousekeeping is a non-tipped position, per our contract.

In theory, any money left in the room gets turned in and management uses the funds to throw parties.

In practice.... not so much.

:) Pretty much how I felt when I was offered tips at Guest Services/Lobby Concierge...

Tip offers aren't terribly unusual at Concierge, but the first tip I got was when I was working as a railroad conductor. Showed it to my supervisor, since I was still pretty new and clueless (about how they enforced things):

"You moron," he said, "Put that back in your pocket and take it home!"

I liked him. Pity he was a victim of last year's pogrom. He's making customers and staff happy somewhere else now at twice his Disney salary.

Please don't tip me over, I would have to worry about what I would be landing on, wouldn't want to hurt anyone or do any major property damage.

I'm not concerned about myself, I can heal most injuries to myself in a matter of minutes, but I can't repair property damage or bring the people I land on back to life. I mean, I still feel guilty about that one small settlement(which had maybe 10 people in it) that I accidentally burned to the ground. :(
