Shampoo Nightmare
Jacob Tomsky, an author and hotel employee, said that while the minibar glasses should be spotless, the hotel maids do not have dish soap in their carts. “So some housekeepers will wash the glasses in the sink with hot water and shampoo. But many of them use furniture polish because it leaves the glasses spot-free,” he told USA Today. EW.

No tipping custom is ever the same when you travel but you should know that maids often rely on tips! Just in America, the annual salary for a hotel maid is about $21,000, and often times maids will find that days can pass before they even get one tip. Reddit user JustBeth22, who is a hotel maid working for a four-star hotel in New York, says maybe just 40 percent of guests ever leave a tip. “Some people tip, some don’t as a rule, some don’t realize they can. I have gone days with no tips at all then in one day I made $40.”
