Here's a tip for you guys that valet your car and care-

tip the valet when you drop off your car. tip the valet when you pick up your car, BEFORE he goes and runs off to get it.

You mean tip the valet twice before and when you pick up your car? Here's a person tip from me, if something happened to you car when you drop it off for valet, speak with the manager in charge and get the shady kid fired.

You need to go back to college and retake your english course again. Clearly, you demonstrate your inability to write proper english.

actually i just don't give a shit. this is fucking ATOT, you want me to type my posts in MLA format or something?

You can talk to the manager if you want, but w/o proof they're not going to be able to do anything. Not to mention, do you WANT to deal with that hassle? Sure you'll get your car repaired, after 2 weeks of BS and a few days w/o your car.

I'm telling it like it is, you can sit there and pick at my english or you can take the post for what it's worth.

I would say 75% of all cars handled by valet's are handled problem free. 25% are dinged, mainly door dings. You valet ticket pays us to do the bare minimum, which is park your car in a stall. ANY stall. a dollar or two at the beginning might net your brand new 911 turbo parked across 3 stalls in the back corner of the lot instead of between a pair of ford excursions tucked in compact stalls.

A few bucks before you pick up your car might mean a 2 minute wait vs a 30 minute wait.

People with such attitudes about tipping piss me off. Tipping is supposed to be out of politeness. If you don't tip, you are an asshole, but there's no reason to be screaming TIP ME if you are someone who works in a job that gets tipped. It's almost like working on hourly pay. If you're anything decent you would be on salary... and not on a tip basis.

Like I said, I agree that it's a douchebag attitude. As a valet, you never know who's gonna be a good tipper and who's not: that guy in a 96 camry could be a better tipper than the brand new jaguar (and usually is, HAHA). It's prejudice, no doubt.

The point I am trying to make is, valets do not know how to differentiate between good tippers (to which they provide SUPERB) service to, and bad tippers (to which they provide BARE MINIMUM) service to.

it makes absolutely no sense on the consumer end to tip after the fact IF you want guaranteed good service. I see your point, that tips are meant to reward exceptional service. However, to highly increase your chances of getting exceptional service, it makes more sense to tip before, rather than after.

Valets are not entitled to tips. They GET tips for exceptional service (which EVERY customer IS entitled to, BTW). If they want a tip, then they better give EVERYONE exceptional service. If their service falls below exceptional, then they get (and deserve) a smaller, or no, tip. Sometimes they get screwed by cheap tippers, but that's life.

The sense of entitlement by people in the service industries is amazing.

(BTW, I worked in many tip-based professions in my life.)

That's a nice fantasy world you live in.

Here is a real world example for you, so I can clarify my position.

10 cars to pull, 3 valets. Assume that all valet's offer "exceptional service". They run and get cars in order, you tip them afterwards for "exceptional service". If you were the 10th car, and tipped afterwards for said "exceptional service", you would receive your car in say 7 minutes. Alternatively, you could've tipped the guy at the beginning, received same "exceptional service", and gotten your car in 2 minutes vs. 7 minutes.

This situation is an ideal small rush scenario. If you are at a busy, BUSY location, valet wait times can be up to 30 minutes. I am TELLING YOU how you can bypass a 30 minute wait.

Here is a little real world example for you: If the guy behind me gets his car before I do, then my tip will be adjusted accordingly.

MotionMan

That's fine, enjoy your wait haha. I'm not saying your position is unjustified, but that still doesn't change the fact that you're gonna wait longer for your car. I tip my valet's before they get my car, they appreciate it, work harder, and all is well.

I have no doubt that the valets do that, I just do not like the attitude that it is right and that they are entitled to any tips.

There is a certain amount of leeway that reps are allowed when it comes to enforcing policies, but if you're a complete tool when you call in, guaranteed they'll become the Judge Dredd of credits and adjustments. Just be nice and polite, explain it was a mistake/misunderstanding, and ask politely if there's anything that can be done, and very likely something will be without an issue.


Let me add that if you're screaming and cursing at me because of something that's your fault, and you ask for a supervisor, I'm going to put you on hold and stall for about 30 minutes hoping you hang up. If you're persistent you might eventually get to talk to one.

If I tell you the computer's running slow, I'm not doing what you asked, I'm texting somebody two or three cubes down - because my life doesn't stop because you need something done.


Oh, and if you call at 3 minutes to 2300 CST, I'm going to tell you the systems are down, regardless. There's no excuse for calling in at 2153 wanting to go over each line of your call details on your $3000 bill.

Oh it's not enough? You park cars; it doesn't take a genius to do that, so why should you be paid/tipped so much? :roll:

Did I ever say you wouldn't get that? Anywhere? This is akin to going to a Vegas casino, paying for the cheapest room, and tipping the CSR to get a free upgrade.

You can tip valet's to get your car faster, or for them to take BETTER care of your car, or for them to leave your car closer.

A further example of this point. There are many, many people who drive very nice cars, or care tremendously about their cars. By default, when you valet, your car is going to get parked in the parking lot. You saying "take care of my car for me" infers that we will take care of your car by parking it in a spot.

If you "took care of your valet" and THEN asked them to "take care of your car", you can comparatively get your car parked that much closer, thus decreasing your wait time when picking up your car and decreasing the probability of something going wrong.

Oh, I do love this thread.

I rarely even read here anymore--let alone post, particularly since they split up OT--but I read every single post in this thread that I haven't seen before.

I loved the ones on the valet drivers. I watch them work every day I work. And it's all true. And I don't care how fast they drive your Porsche either. If I see them beating on a nice car, I just figure the owner didn't tip well enough. And low-tippers or stiffers are douchebags, so f--k 'em.

The delivery driver probably has no idea what the order taker said the delivery time would be.

If you ask for a "rush" on your delivery order, and the order taker says "yeah, OK, we'll rush that for you," you still get the same service as everybody else, except you also get laughed at after you hang up the phone.

If the delivery driver asks you for your coupon, you didn't tip well enough.

If you can't produce above mentioned coupon and you get charged regular price, the driver keeps the difference as a tip anyway.

The bolded one is absolutely true, if you tip well you always get the coupons back.

I can confirm this. The best places to look are in the plastic box that holds the manual, by the battery, and around the tire/axle.

Well some more medical/hospital secrets.

Doctors and nurses use google all the time. Despite having all sorts of books, online medical journals, merck manual online etc....google is still faster and easier.

If a patient asks me a question I don't know I'll straight up tell them give me 5 minutes to google it so I can give you the most correct answer possible.

Another one, not so much a secret or anything but certainly applies at my hospital. If you come in seeking pain meds for whatever reason I'll probably know thats why you are coming to the ER before I even physically meet you. Your name pops up on my computer screen as my next patient and in 10 seconds I(so can the doctor) can access any of your medical records from present day to 1999 using my computer so if you are confused as to why we gave you motrin and/or tylenol that would be why

In hospital lingo you don't die or pass on, you expire.....just like a bad piece of meat.

This one might be more well known but the worst time of year to be hospitalized in a teaching hospital is July and August. The mortality rate can increase 3-5% in those months at teaching hospitals mostly because of the new residents/interns.

People actually go to an ER for pain meds to get high on? Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy crack or something?

And even if you do give them drugs wouldn't it only be a few days worth to get them by until they see their Dr./specialist?

Great doctors are taking advice from amateurs....just what we need. I hate the internet for that fact, that somehow even the most lowly amateur (possibly not even a teenager) is held in the same regard as a highly trained expert. WIKIPEDIA IS A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!

Actually you are taking it out of context. We google to find what we are looking for, we certainly dont use wikipedia or some 'amateur site' We use e-medicine, merck manual online, UpToDate, etc. Google just directs to the page you want NOW instead of having to sift through a website. Thats the beauty of Google(or Yahoo etc)

Where I'm a nurse at is inner city. Lots of people dont have money for pain clinics or whatnot. Sometimes they are so broke that cant even afford street drugs. They know we cant turn them away, however we are very picky about who gets the stronger opiate based pain relievers. And yes if we give them a prescription for vicodin or Tylenol #3, it's usually like a one to three day supply. We tell them to follow up with the low cost pain clinic that my hospital system runs but they rarely do.

wtf?

Well some more medical/hospital secrets.

Doctors and nurses use google all the time. Despite having all sorts of books, online medical journals, merck manual online etc....google is still faster and easier.

If a patient asks me a question I don't know I'll straight up tell them give me 5 minutes to google it so I can give you the most correct answer possible.
Great doctors are taking advice from amateurs....just what we need. I hate the internet for that fact, that somehow even the most lowly amateur (possibly not even a teenager) is held in the same regard as a highly trained expert. WIKIPEDIA IS A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!
Actually you are taking it out of context. We google to find what we are looking for, we certainly dont use wikipedia or some 'amateur site' We use e-medicine, merck manual online, UpToDate, etc. Google just directs to the page you want NOW instead of having to sift through a website. Thats the beauty of Google(or Yahoo etc)
That, and it's not like you guys blindly trust what a website says, you'll apply common sense and just what you know before doing something.

Your keys are often left inside the vehicle, until it is parked in the parking lot.
Your car is usually locked...
...USUALLY
The keys are almost never safeguarded
If you tip us, we NEVER look/check your ticket when claiming the vehicle




Valet translations
"take care of my car", no boot: we will treat your car like every other fucking car we see
"take care of my car, plus small additional consideration: we will not abuse your car and park it in a manner which presents the smallest likelihood of damage to your vehicle
"take car of my car", plus substantial consideration: we will park your car 5 feet away for your, mister VIP you

You have a shitty attitude about your job. If you don't like what you are doing, go get another job.

i don't work there anymore kthxbye


not to mention, I've valet'ed for 3 places, and the attitude was pretty consistent throughout.

Glad to know you're all assholes. God I hate people who think they're entitled to damage other people's property for any reason. You are the reason I specifically avoid places with valet parking.
