Should it not be a condition from @japhroaig that @brainspore capture suitable video of Boingers (and other attendees) at Weekend of Wonder for use as animated gifs to keep @codinghorror happy?
@xeni slurping loudly, perhaps?

Okay, serious questionâdo I tip at an air bnb?
It depends, which isnât much help, right? We like to get something nice for the owner, soap, edibles, something small and more âyou can give this away easily if itâs not your styleâ than cash. Arenât you already paying a cleaning fee and sundry charges?

Sure am, but there is a cost plus world market down the street, perhaps a present from there? (Or just the normal hotel tip?)
Can I say that while I havenât done the air bnb thing, I would agree with @SteampunkBanana that getting the owner(s) a gift would be a nice thank you?

But one tips in a hotel to the cleaners because they get paid terribly, youâd drop a few dollars on top of the cleaning fee? Thatâs weird.
I donât know what this cost plus world market is, but the answer is yes.

Isnât it Whole Foods but with furniture and expensive imported food? You donât have any in NY?

I guess we do?
Isnât Airbnb like the hair stylist who owns their own shop? You tip people who work for the owner of an establishment, but why would you tip the owner? Especially since the usual reason for tipping at a hotel is that the cleaners have the hardest job and the smallest paycheck?
Or have I been a jerk, the few times Iâve stayed in an Airbnb?

It depends? For me itâs about length of stay and how put out the people likely are or if theyâve been helpful. A nightâs stay when theyâre just crashing over at their boyfriendâs? No tip. A weekâs stay where they likely have to bunk in back home with their younger siblings but took the time to get me a local map and explicit instructions on how to use the local trains to get to the airport? A nice bottle of wine.
Also, you donât tip the owner of the hair stylist? Am I just an over-tipper?

Isnât it great that we have established that noone really knows the answer? (Iâll leave a decent bottle of red and a thank you note)
