This guideline is for luggage, but you could adapt it to groceries. Would one bag of groceries equal one suitcase? Or should it be two (or three) to one. And remember bags of groceries are much more likely to go sliding around on a cart than nice heavy pieces of luggage. Again, it would be added cost to your vacation.
Customary tip: $1 to $2 per bag, or a flat $5 plus $1 per bag, for storing bags or taking them to your room; $1 to $2 for a standard delivery.
I have heard the $1 or $2 per bag tip guideline before and I do keep it in mind when traveling. The loading and unloading of luggage usually takes a minute or two. However, the trip from the bell desk to the room is relatively short at the HHV; the worst time waster for the bellman is waiting for clear elevators to push the cart into. The Trip to the Ocean Tower has to take a significantly greater amount of time. Would the same standard prevail?
