Patrick Kennedy, in his eulogy, told a story about Teddy leaving some money on the sink in their hotel room. When Patrick told his dad that he left money there Ted said it was for the women who break their backs making beds! Wow, what a saint that Ted was! We all must canonize Teddy for leaving a tip. What a great human being he was! Wow!

Having been in the hotel biz for many years I can almost assure you that he didn't give the maids diddly squat. Most so called big folks stiff hotel workers. Given his credentials...that was a given!

You mean it was Ted Kennedy that first started the "maid tip" custom. Now see, I would never have known that!(Sarc)

Working as a waitress while in college, it usually was the rich ones who left the least tips. Guess that's how they stay rich!
