many Republican delegates didn't tip hotel concierges
New York Post, September 1, 2004

http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/27882.htm

"I wouldn't call them bad tippers — I'd call them non-tippers!" said Thomas Potesak, a concierge at the Sheraton Manhattan, where the Alaska, Iowa, South Dakota and Virgin Islands delegates are bunking.

"It's like they're completely unfamiliar with the concept of tipping."
...
Abraham Bolzman of the New York Hilton was also perplexed by the prudence of his guests. "It's just no tips at all," he said.

"It's strange. It's not that they're not friendly. They're always saying 'God bless you.' I guess I'm used to something more tangible."

5. Fuck em
They're GONE from here, and speaking as someone who lives in NYC, that's the best gratuity they could've given to this city.
