Plus: What is the rule about whether houseguests can close the door to their room?
When they are busy, I try to tip extra , but they don’t know during the meal that I will do that. I often feel rushed out the door.
Not only is this unseemly, but it could also be ineffective. The servers may well appreciate it, but the seating turnover is likely dictated by their employers, not them. We have an occasional houseguest who does this, both when they are hanging out with us at home and when they leave the house. Is it the guest’s territory to do as they please for the duration of the visit?
On the other hand, our family leaves doors of unoccupied rooms open, and having a room closed off with no one in it bothers me a bit.
