I usually only use the valet service when I'm staying in a fancy-ass hotel ... I'm a park and walk because I'm cheap kinda girl usually ...
Do you vary the valet tip based on the number of times he gets your car out of car purgatory for you? Like if you get it out twice during your stay, do you tip smaller amounts to equal what you'd give at the end??
This last time my car was in valet parking for five days. So the dudes basically watched over my vehicle and kept it safe from harm for that period of time. They put it away once, and brought it out once, so I pulled $5 out of the ashtray and handed it to the guy.
I prefer to do as much stuff on my own as possible ... but the friend I went to Baltimore with had entirely too much crap AND wasn't capable of carrying any of it herself, although why you need and 80 pound suitcase, a carry on bag, and a shopping bag full of snack foods for five days in a hotel with concierge lounge access is beyond me ... so while I had one rolling suitcase, a laptop case and a purse, she need a fucking flatbed to get her stuff up to the room. Under those circumstances, I figure the bellman is worth a buck a bag, right?
