How much of a tip does the guy who wheels the cart to my room deserve?

Wha? 23%+$7.50 for room service? That IS nuts. Think I'd stay someplace else next time. Should be the same as it's always been, like the bellboy, if they still have them. (Not sure I've ever stayed in a place that did!) A few bucks for humping your luggage up to the room, a few bucks for bringing your food to you, nothing wrong with that. But it should always be up to you. Like any other transaction, if you think you're getting ripped off, protest to the management, fight back.
