Tipping Rise Among Hotel Patrons Noted By Bell Captain
Bennett Allen, bell captain at the Herring Hotel, cites a about 30 percent rise in tips since World War II with women the most generous. He notes Armasillo and Panhandle guests tip better, and recalls a 5 cent tip from a wandering salesman as an all-time low. He describes bellhop duties, attire, and shifts, and says single guests are easier to please than couples.
