Woke up this morning a little late since I was at the casino until 4:00am last night, but it was a good night – up $250. Anyway, as I make my way to the bathroom to get a drink and take a leak, I grab the bill they put under my door to expedite my checkout at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Spa and Resort.
I glance at the charges and they are a few “extras” that are not normally there. One is a $4 charge for maid tips. I don’t mind; since I don’t usually leave a tip on a one or two night stay, so let it ride.
The next one is a charge for $12 for the bellman. Bellman? Is that a beer that I had from the mini bar? I never saw a bellman. I checked in at around 10:00pm and have a suitcase on wheels, so I dragged it in and to my room. When I was ready to check out I did the same thing.
What a rip-off, some guy that I never saw just put $12 into his pocket. I’ll have to talk to someone on this one.

I talked to the front desk and they indicated that it was something that our company had set up in advance -- good for the bellman that pocketd $12 for no work. Must have been a Mexican!
