Creator's Key Takeaways
The more that I've been cruising and the more that I've kind of dug into this and done research on it, the more I'm starting to find out that that tip, prepaid gratuitity, may or may not be actually getting to the people that take care of you
I am not going to pay any prepaid gratuitities. And I'm also going to go to the customer service desk and I'm going to remove the automatic gratuitities. And then I'm going to bring a lot of cash.
I want to make sure that they get taken care of. So, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to budget out uh a bunch of cash.
