Anyone Valet Park 6MT

peoples tru character comes out when they think no one is looking. you can learn more about someone in 5mins of watching than in an hour of talking.
case in point, i went to the nutcracker one year, at one of the nicer theaters in columbus, and didnt valet. the next night, my wife and i were walking downtown and it was pretty late. the valets were bringing out all the cars for the end of that nights show. the garage was below street surface and about a block away from the front doors of the theater. every car driven be every valet, was floored the whole entire way up the hill to street level, and then as the valets turned left, each of them left some rubber on the road. i watched for about 5 mins as we were looking at some christmas decorations there, and i couldnt believe my eyes.
bottom line - people will do what they want when the boss isnt looking. poeple can hide thier true nature when someones watching, but when they think no ones looking...
i would one day, just watch how some of the valets operate when no ones looking.especially if the parking is more than a block away from the the pickup or drop off point.

i always tip the valet 20 so i can keep the key and park it my self next to their booth. or i leave a 100 and park it in font of the club, whicj is a deal considering lots charge 20 and u rick getting ur **** broken into,, parking lots around clubs are a favorite among car thieves,,small price to pay to make sure your aby is safe.

Do Not Valet
Never valet. All I gotta say is $1k in damage and drink tickets and free VIP doesn't cut it.
If it is valet only just say this is a brand new car and a valet damaged it (I still have the damage). And if you want to pay for it you can park the car, otherwise let me park. Tip them 5-10 bucks park it yourself up front or somewhere else and go inside.
Valets are hit or miss, if you know someone who valets at a rest. get the inside scoop.
P.S. - Don't valet at east andrews in atlanta.

I had to vallet park my G when I went to the city couple of days ago, was kind of worried about it. But kept reminding myself that there were tons of better more expensive cars there and the guy most likely wont take it for a joy ride because ... well its the city, no point. All was well.
