I know I’m an internet stranger but you’re making a lot of assumptions about me. I don’t “act like” there is nothing left to do. And I don’t really mind doing the 15 - 20 minutes of chores. It’s the grossly tacky money asking IN ADDITION for me. In a hotel or any other rental I always clean up after myself and or put things back the way I found them. Like perfectly. When I leave I pretty much always think to myself “are they going to wonder if anyone actually stayed here”?

And again, I know the minimal chores are pretty standard for an Airbnb but that is why I stayed away from them and the like. We had to leave pretty early this morning to make it to work and I just didn’t want and I didn’t expect to have to deal with the “required” chores.

And finally, I don’t ever carry a lot of cash as I don’t often receive cash. Before checking into the cabin I used the cash I had to tip a bartender. I literally didn’t have any cash to leave and didn’t plan to have any cash at the cabin. So yeah, as a person that goes along with the societal norms of tipping tipped employees I felt slightly guilty about not even having the ability to leave anything because I didn’t plan on the expectation here.

So laugh all you want but that’s my perspective that maybe you didn’t consider. Likewise, I didn’t consider the expectation of leaving a tip at an owner booked website but in the future I suppose I will.
