say Brutha. Kan ewe spare some ChaNGe?

Is it me or have you ever noticed that workers in public eye tend to have their hands out for doing their job they are already paid to do? People who clean rooms at hotels, the concierge ,the custodian and the check in people. O.k. here is what happened to me. I was in my room typing away on some work on the computer when a knock at my hotel door stopped my flow. I opened the door and there was Mae Ling with a bunch of towels apologizing and saying she could come back later. I said, oh no come on in, its no bother. She came in and did her thing and even re maid my bed. I was like cool. Well she finished and stood there looking at me with her hands behind her back smiling asking if there is anything else I could do for her? I replied no thank you. To my surprise she still stood there as if I said something foreign to her. I mean dang, I do sale Rosetta stone disc-lol!
Apparently Mae Ling was expecting a tip from old Wardy. Huh, somebody done told her wrong (in my Martin Voice) because I turned around and pretended to be on the phone talking about how I don't have enough money to get back home. She must have understood that because she freaking disappeared into thin air when she thought I was broke. She ain't the only one who has a hand out. The dude who took my luggage must be a crack head. I told him, I got my bag but he insisted he could do it. I finally said fine, take it. He let out a big Kool aide smile as if to say I am about to get paid! Again, Somebody done told him wrong 2 (must have been that darn Mae Ling). He gently put my luggage on my bed and set my shoes neatly in the corner and then asked did I need anything else. I was thinking I didn't request your freaking help in the first place so the answer was and still is NO! He wanted a tip. I said don't talk to strangers in Tijuana after 9 p.m.-then again he should ask them for a tip!
This is my point, if you have a job, then you should do your best and if the customer wants to show some love, then its their option. No one wants to give you something for things you were gonna do anyway. Think about it how many times you tip the mail man for bring you a bill or when is the last time you gave a police officer a tip for giving you the much needed speeding ticket? You see my point. I don't want to imply that good service should not be rewarded, rather good service should be expected. Is it so wrong to expect from people. You can tip me if you like this article....lol!
