Advice about money left in room

[Clarkkent]

We have a habit of putting loose change into pots/tins.

We did the same here. One glass with British money and another with American coins. Our usual cleaner has left them alone until there's enough there for a tip and we leave a note for her to help herself.

Yesterday: new cleaner, takes both lots of money. :(

Reported to manager who says that some non-English speaking staff, regardless of whether a note is left, will take any money left in the room as a genuine assumption it's for them.

Though what they'll do with £4.50 we don't know.

Manager of course mentioned the safe though Jeff responded by saying that we should be able to trust staff to leave things alone.

She's off to investigate while we have breakfast.

Slight dampener on things. Not so much that the money is gone but that's it's gone without permission. Sigh.

This happened to my brother too. We stay on ID when we go, he put all his change in a cup on the dresser and it was never touched, then in the second week the cleaner just took it. He was not happy. He was going to leave a big tip at the end of the holiday to say thank you but promptly changed his mind. You just dont expect it to happen really do you

I do think it's poor behavior for them to take it :yes: and you are right to have reported it since it bothered you. The only comfort I can offer you is that I do truly believe what the manager is saying...it's more of an oversight (and poor manners) than a malicious act.

Hope you see some satisfaction, friend.

They are still investigating. Our regular cleaner confirmed that the rules are quite clear do not take money unless specifically instructed to do so by the guest.

However, they offered us $25 Disney gift card which is more than what we asked for so can't really complain really.

We shall keep you all posted.

Lovely offer, for sure. But in the end, it's really not about the money is it? It's about that measure of safety and trust you have in all things Disney being ever so slightly fractured.

Have a great day anyway ;-)

That's the thing... the regular cleaners know the protocol... then the relief or whatever they call them, the cleaners that clean on the regs day off, are not the same..... we noticed that. Don't know if they are agency cleaners or not, not sure but they do *feel* different iykwim?

Our *relief* cleaner at Coronado Springs literally drooled all over my husband! She couldn't take her eyes off him in the pool so much so she crashed her cart............... :/

While I agree that the money should not have been touched, especially if were in cups, it really should not be left in plain sight either. I generally put my loose change in a resealable bag and place it under things in a drawer. If I'm leaving money for the housekeeping staff to take then I leave it on the pillow and it is never change.

[Deafjeff]

I vote for the photo too!

This is a lesson learnt for us as we have done this in the past. Sadly this is the last time that we will do this :sorry:

While styling Disney gear of course.:smiley-face-bouncin

:focus:

Any loose change we have is usually left in a drawer or in the safe. We don't put anything out for the cleaning staff until the morning of checkout.

Funnily enough the gay men love him too... in Gran Canaria a gay man dressed as a woman singing in a bar...lol... stopped singing mid sentence and just gawped at him :/

I was thinking more along the lines of him being nekkid with a sprig of holly and two berries to cover the crown jewels.....
