Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don’t have a good parking situation.

How do you feel about valet parking? Doesn’t bother you in the least, will do it if you have to, will never do it, something else?

Personally I don’t like some random person driving my car.

    It shows just how stupid cars are in general. Think of it this way, the rich people who buy fancy cars to go to fancy establishments are inconvenienced by having to find parking for their car before they can go in, so they spend more money to get someone else to do it for them.

    We all would have had a way better experience if we had really good public transit that completely replaces privately owned cars in cities and towns. This is both more convenient than any valet service, and better for a million different reasons.

    It’s an added cost that has no reason to exist. Yes, let me larp as a noble. Fucking dumbassery.

        that’s basically the entire service economy at this point.

        Eating out replicates having a kitchen staff, App that summons pizza delivery servant, another App to summon the coachman (rideshare), ect.

        Not a moral judgement on individual consumers (assuming they aren’t dicks about it).

          Yeah. Partly explains why I don’t eat out much anymore after the pandemic had me break the habit.

          Sometimes this stuff is just me trading my money to save some time, but any time I start to hear the words “premium” or, gods-forbid, “luxury” in a sales pitch, I’m 100% out.

            Learning how to cook was probably the only good thing from the pandemic. It’s good on the finances, it can be healthier, and it’s just a genuinely nice skill to have.
