When receiving meals from hotel room service, the recommendation is a 15% tip (standard for most food services). However, the hotel bill often ALREADY includes the 15% precalculated as part of the total. Of course there is a line item to include a tip as well. Am I supposed to or expected to include an ADDITIONAL tip? If so, how much? And why?
Thanks for the insights!

No they have taken the liberty to include it for you. However, I did room service before and alot of people throw an extra couple bucks anyway.

Beware. In some cases there is a service charge added to the bill that is not paid to the service staff. Best rule of thumb is to ask when placing your room service order.
