A student in a Hall of Residence gives a box of chocolates to the cleaner who cleans his room, with a note saying “Thank you for cleaning my room so well”. This is a token gift, so the cleaner is not required to report it to her manager. A little while later, he leaves another box of chocolates and a few weeks later he gives her a bouquet of flowers. The next time he sees her, he asks if she will clean his room first. The succession of token gifts may be inappropriate, so the cleaner should consider discussing this with her manager. The request to give favourable treatment to the student is inappropriate and should be reported to the cleaner’s manager.
