Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel? (self.asklemmy)

Is it a 'thank you for prepping my room' or 'please clean my room today'? If you tip post cleaning, it's likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?

ETA- I'm in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don't know what the norm is.

I feel that way about bars - expensive wine is not harder to open than cheap wine. Had a fight with my husband about it because he once ordered a VERY expensive drink and then started to tip 20% on it.

In the UK a few pubs have started the "how much would you like to tip?" When you pay by card.

When I see that, it's always the last pint I buy from there.

Tipping is not customary here. People tip if they think the service is exceptional or they might "buy the bar tender a drink" if they want to build a relationship as a regular. I'm not OK with this shitty American culture creeping in.
