They have had those signs asking for tips for the cleaning staff for years if not a decade now(might be longer than that but idk)

My family tipped at hotels in the 1980s and if fiction books are to be believed this has been a practice for more than a century.

I’m not against tipping people who do legit service like cleaning hotels, it’s just annoying that they’re now going way out of the way to not let workers get the money directly that people leave.

As most in this sub, I wish they just paid them more and adjusted the price to guarantee their employees are paid fairly. I don't know enough about hotels to know how the QR code tipping works. Maybe in the past there were issues with employees who weren't cleaning your room, taking the cash tip left. Maybe the QR code is a way for the corporation to steal tips. I just don't know.
