You guys go all out. I wouldnt pay that much for an alcoholic beverage. Hell once you have a few drinks in ya, you cant tell the difference. Im a college student so I stick strictly to the beer.

As for valet parking, I dont do it. A couple years back a friend of mine asked if I wanted to valet for his cousins company cause they needed some extras. Well I can tell you that the valets dont treat your cars with any respect. They steal **** out of ashtrays and lets just say they dont really care about your bumpers. Whenever I go to a place with valet I park my car myself. Sometimes Ill take my pops 2002 A8L out when I go on fancy dates with my girlfriend and you should see how the greasy valets are eyeing it over. I bet if they got there hands on it they would cruise it around or try AWD drifts.

I refuse to go to any restaurant that forces you to valet park. (Same with hotels.) Hell, I don't even like giving up my car to a mechanic.

Restaurants that have valet parking usually:

...Are way to expensive.
...Adds the tip directly to the bill, regardless of service.
...Serves small (tiny) portions of food under the pretense of being healthy.
...Serves food that looks better than it tastes.
...Serves food in unnatural colors (like blue... There is no blue food.)
...Forces me to give up my car to a underpaid moron who probably drives around a '83 escort... Badly.

If I want a decent meal, I'll cook it myself.

Am I sterotyping?

(I was in Dayton, OH once, and had to stay at the Hilton. I was forced to valet park the car. They lost my keys. They later found them locked in my car, in my ignition... You have to wonder...)

Problem is some restaurants, you don't have a choice than to valet park. Nothing you can do there.

Sure there is. You go to another restaurant.

I vote with my feet. Always have. In no way, shape or form will I allow a valet to have my car.

All you have to do is: hand the valet a $10 and ask him where YOU can park the car. This always works for me. They are glad to tell you what spot you can take and they don't even have to drive the car there. You will then have piece of mind (p.s. hang onto the keys).

Just got off the phone with the Valet Owner. He kissed my A$$ to all end. They are doing a full interior and exterior detail, at my home, and they are giving me a Gift Certificate to the restaurant. I made sure they are not just washing and drying my car and calling it a detail. I had never had a bad experience at a valet before, but I always tip them well, and dont act like an A$$ . I actually cleaned the interior myself, and its fine. I had just waxed my car, so Im not that worried. Oh , and the Pimple Faced Freak is FIRED !

I really liked the idea of tiping the valet guy $10 and just asking him where you can park the car. Very good idea. Thanks

Oh the good old days!!
Dont forget putting the car into "park" when going about 20mph

and hearing it click till it finally jerks to a stop.

Yeah that's messed up nobody takes care of your whip like you do. I went to the chart house in philly, they wouldn't let me park myself, I got lucky cause there was a secure parking lot across the street. It dampened the mood a little, I consider a short walk and a peace of mind a good trade off, plus most valet services are at your own risk, at least on the east coast.

I go in have dinner , with my wife and a couple of friends, come out , and hand my ticket to Burger Flipper Sr. My car now has an open sunroof ( which I didnt open ), and salt water all over the car, and inside ! I proceed to F*!*NG wig out ! I ask the restaurant manager to come out . He sees me having a contortion, and asks me to forgive him, and tells me they will detail my car inside and out for free..... I got up this morning and thoroughly cleaned the car, inside and out. It FREAKIN smelled like TUNA inside !
Needless to say, the full detail will be coming this week ! Just a warning ! When using the VALET ! To you So Cal guys !

You are mighty-man in my book. Split a bottle with a buddy once; was sick for almost 48 hours starting the next day. Thank goodness we did it on a Friday night!
