Hi All,
As someone who lives in the land of valet parking (Dallas), I tend to get a lot of 'preferential treatment' with my Coupe, more than I did with my previous Porsche. One of the more interesting aspects is the fact that none of the valet drivers give me a valet ticket, instead they just give me their name and usually park the car in front of wherever I'm going.
Two questions I had for those who've been experiencing this longer than I have:
1. Is this normal? Are they completely limiting liability by not providing me a ticket or is this just a way for the parkers to pocket anything I give them (this happens at places where valet costs money, sometimes up to $10), or both?
2. How much do you typically tip a valet person who leaves your car out front as opposed to parking it with all the 'other' cars? I guess this depends on where you're parking, as well. I go out quite a bit so this is common in front of nice restaurants, bars, clubs, and other shady parts of big D
Thanks!
