Making a better world, 5 dollars at a time.

I learned something from Joy Behar, when she was on “The View”.

She said she always leaves a tip for Housekeeping every day when she stays in a hotel.

She reasoned, “If it’s a different maid when I check out, she won’t get any part of it if I do it all the final day.”

I’d never thought of that.

Ever since then I’ve taken my own note paper from home to write a “Thank You” to the maid — along with a $5 bill.

Sometimes I’ll add, “More Towels Please” and maybe a small happy face —

but usually I’m content to just thank them.

On this trip to the Renaissance Providence, I was pleased when on two separate days, I got a note back.

It looks like the same writing — if I’d stayed there longer, we could have become pen pals!
