Really though, why does it bother you that much? The implication of donation in said messages usually indicates that the porter doesn't demand a set price for the service.
It does? To me it sounds like they'll only perform their service for payment. I can only guess as to why they call it a 'donation' - maybe they want to create the illusion that your payment is a voluntary gift, and not a deal breaker if not forthcoming, so they can appear altruistic.

Why do I smell Catholic Church...?
