How much do you tip a luggage carrier?

Tip $1-5 per bag when you are escorted to your room (especially if your luggage is heavy or they prepare your room or show you around). Tip the same if you request bell staff service checking out. Tip $1-2 for getting a taxi. If they unload your luggage, tip in proportion to the amount and weight.
