Literally some buildings have doormen that you are expected to tip. It's insanity

    I went to new york years ago, on checkout of the hotel I asked reception if I could store my bags in the hotel as it was hours before we even had to leave for the airport. Followed a guy across the lobby, with me wheeling and carrying my bags, to a door which he opened, put them literally about a metre inside, tagged them and made it clear he wanted a tip. Like... What?

    Looking after your bags is a service that isn't actually part of the money you already agreed to pay. They're doing you a small favour.

    I'd give the guy a tip in that case.

    In most countries that is just a general courtesy... Even in far cheaper hotels.

    Maybe. But I would want to show my appreciation of such courtesy with a tip, and it wouldn't be crazy to ask for one.

    It's not in the obnoxious category of "I did nothing but my job, gimme extra."
