1. The housekeeping staff in most places has to "pay" for the toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion) out of their own pocket or budget. When you take those every day, it is normal polite behavior to leave a tip each day. They aren't just left there so you can sweep them off the counter into your bag, and then use them to make your guest bathrooms look nice (especially when you already have at least one shoe box full in the bathroom vanity alaready).
2. If you are staying more than one night, most hotels ask that you hang your towels and reuse them to save on wear and tear, and for environmental issues (use of water and energy). Throwing every towel in the bathroom on the floor every day just creates more work for the housekeepers, who are usually at minimum wage to begin with. If you do "use" them all every day, then at least leave a tip for the extra time the housekeeper spends. (If you don't even wash your towels at home every day, you shouldn't do that at a hotel either.)
3. No, the housekeeping staff does NOT want your leftovers that you didn't clean out of the fridge. Leaving them there under that pretense is just ridiculous.
4. Just because you "need" a towel or some other item from a hotel room doesn't mean that you just take it. See the pic above from several hotel chains.
5. $100+ a night hotels are often just as dirty or infested with bedbugs as lower budget alternatives. The pretentious statements about only staying in a place that is "at least $100 a night" and "at least four or five star" demonstrates that things are all about the outside and never about what truly matters, people.
Oh, and sorry for always sounding like a teacher, but maybe if you'd bother to learn some simple rules of how to behave like a human, it wouldn't be necessary.
