Garrett76Zt Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Well, a few nights a week I valet at a local upscale restaurant. This of course always produces some good humor for me and a few friends that work there. Inevitably you have one person a night just waiting to give you a good laugh. It usually comes from the guy who is so paranoid leaving his Benz with you or something, when you know he is probably leasing. Like last week a guy in a new Cayenne turbo puts the keys in my hand and whispers, "I'll be watching you." LOL Anyways, lately I have been bringng the Z to work and parking it up front in our valet circle, just to see if I can generate anything . . . So on Saturday I get a new Benz and four people get out. I begin to pull the car around to a front spot when I notice that one of the ladies is doing circles around my car going ecstatic. After I parked the car she said," I have always wanted one of these!!" So now I am feeling pretty good about myself , except being denied my offer to trade with her. So two nights later, I have my car parked up front and a lady walks out, having obviously had too many, exclaiming that, "That is the ugliest car I have ever seen!" Once she realized it was mine, I politely said thank you and copied down the liscense plate # so I could key her car next time. . .Just kidding.

auxilary Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 you simply reply with "alright! Now you and my car share a common visual trait!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Remember the lady that went crazy over your car, and forget the one who dissed it. 1) there's no accounting for taste, 2) she was drunk, and 3) EVERYONE has said something he/she shouldn't have, and the memory of her faux-pas (assuming she was capable of remembering anything to begin with) will possibly haunt her for years!

Cody 82 ZXT Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Well my only real valet story I have was when I went to have my follow visit after having to have a peice of metal plucked out of my eye and the rust drilled out. Talk about fun and that was what happened while I was porting the exhaust manifold for the Z. Anyway, the medical center had valet parking only as it's in a conjested part of Dallas. When it's finally my turn to get out of the car and hand the guy the key he takes them and just looks at me. I walked to the curb which was blocked by several other cars and the guy thought I was gone. He then looks in the car and yells out to a friend "Hey Johnny it's TURBO and STICK. I'm sure you really smoke the tires in this one. Wanna drive it?" I yelled back to him " Hey buddy whats up with that?" Suddenly the manager who previously couldn't care less hopped out of his seat and took the keys. Who knows what they did but, the car felt and looked alright when I got it back. Ofcourse the whole time I was there I had visions of the seen in Ferris Buelers Day Off when the guy takes Camrons dad's Ferrari out for a nice little spin.

fl327 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I used to Valet graveyard at a Casino. It sucked, because 90 percent of the people there come out upset and broke, and wont even let me drive their cars up to them because they wont tip. I have got some great tips, but not as often as getting stiffed and hit with the sob stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iceickle Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Cody i just realised that you could put some chalk on a rear tyre after you got out of your car to stop them doing burnouts in your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhins50 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 i was a valet for 8 months at a large hotel in downtown san francisco i was fired on new years after being kept 40 minute over time and missing a dinner reservation. oh yea the reason i got fired was that i got cought doing 50 in the overflow lot. i was pissed and trying to get the cars parked fast so i could go. cars i have driven because of that job porsche turbo (weird clutch) ferrari 305( old 80's didnt like it ) new m3 (yea ...folding mirrors at the press of a button, fun to play with) sl55 amg (will do a full on burn out on parking lot cement if you punch it from a stand still with no traction control) s600 (someday when i comand a small drug cartel i will own this car) lifted f350 diesel four door (absolutely the hardest car ive ever had to park and annoying as all hell to drive) rs4 (dude was trying to explain to me what it was, in the end it sounded like a s4 with more boost and some other mods) 750il (another car you feel you could work for the mafia in) zO6(lots of fun but feels very big) my favorite of all time to drive, is a simple m5 fast luxurious and sexy rule of thumb as far as myself and all the valets i worked with was if you made us feel like you deserved the car or actually cared about it (and tiped us when you droped it off) we would treat you car well but if you rented a porsche boxter(which you can in san francisco although they are peices of shite) and told us u wanted it back just like it is, you were getting a car back with two bald tires valets do respect and appreciate tips($2-10 is normal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
