How do you feel about valet parking? (lemm.ee)

Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don't have a good parking situation.

How do you feel about valet parking? Doesn't bother you in the least, will do it if you have to, will never do it, something else?

Personally I don't like some random person driving my car.

I just spent half an hour trying to find a park, getting late for a desperately needed physio appointment, ended up parking illegally a mile away. Would've loved to hand my keys to someone at the door, but I don't think even the yanks have extended valet parking to all businesses.

Ticketing inspector didn't nab me so I'm notching it up as a win - but my knees could've done with out the extra leg work...

I'd happily hand my keys to a random, they're probably better at parking than I am...

Would you also be willing to tip hard because said random expects you to pay his wages in tips? Keep in mind he is likely to cause harm to your vehicle (or at least your time) if you don't take pity on his low income. Because although he gives lipservice to hating the tipping culture he also has to live in it.

Nah, if it became a thing here there would be no tipping. We don't have that silly aspect associated with low income jobs here. Although you sound awfully angry at people on low income in your country?

I don't have to worry that they might be getting a minimum wage of 4 bucks an hour. Angry at employers and regulators in America for allowing a slave culture, sure. Glad minimum wage workers here can manage okay without me having to tip them directly for service they are already employed to do.
