“This guest left money on the table, should we call them?”

My hotel recently hired someone for their first job helping housekeeping strip rooms, clean public areas, and to just help wherever needed.

He’s a teenager, really nice kid.

He was stripping rooms and called me at the front desk from a room.

“Hey, this room left money on the table. Should we call them?”

OP asked the right question.

I was wondering if it was like an envelope of cash or something.

“How much money did they leave?”

“Seven dollars”

“Oh! That’s a tip! Leave it in there for the housekeeper”

He was surprised.

“Wait, people tip here?”

“Sometimes, yeah”

“Oh”

I don’t know why but that interaction made my day.

What a cheery interaction!
