Depending on what kind of mood I am in......when I get to a stop light and invariably some "dude" pulls up next to me in his ride, looks me over and wants to go for it.........I look over, smile, rev the engine a few times... then look straight ahead.....the light turns green, he goes for it......I sit there....... then when I pull up next to him I make sure I give him a big smile..........he's just been played......worsk like a charm.

Took my wife to lunch this pass week and found the best valet service... the young man parked my p-car in a special spot by itself, put cones in the parking spots next to her so no other cars were parked next to her afterwards, and handed my keys back to me in the restaurant/lounge. Smart kid = big tip and customer appreciation. BTW, this was all his idea... even insisted on bring me my keys afterward after parking her.
So what's annoying about this? Well to start with how do I get all the other valets to do this without sounding like a pompous p-*** owner.![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)
But really... this was the best and I want it again. Well I've found one place where I'll risk valeting her in town with one particular valet.

Parking. No matter where you park someone always parks right next to you or in front of you when you have stuff for the trunk. Even when you park in the last (furthest) space from the store.
Valet guy wants to do a Ferris Bueller's Day Off on you. I would not give the keys to a valet person. I would pay for the spot and park her myself.

I was at the pub the other day parked right in front. A friend of mine parks his brand new bright red Smart car right next to me. He had driven it straight from the dealer, where he had traded in his Mercedes for it.
While we sat at the bar two different women walked right past my p-carcompletely ignoring it and stood for a long time checking out his Smart car.
Gotta luv the PNW!

One piece of advice I got from a friend that used to valet.
1.) Yes - they will rag your car out.
2.) When you give them the keys...wait for them to hand you the keys back. There is no requirement for them to keep your keys. Request a spot up front as well.

I was a valet at a very expensive high-rise condominium building in the 1980s when I was in college. I can attest to the fact that the attitude and maturity level of most valets isn't very high. My coworkers were generally either college students, or simply morons.
I rarely have my car valet parked, and I always ask for it to be left up front.
