Which would you give him? I already invested $28 just to park one night, but don’t want to appear cheap.

Ask him if he has change. He rather make change for you than a $1 tip.

Ask if he can make change or ask if he has venmo. a $1 tip is worse than no tip at all in this instance IMO

First downvote. I wonder how some of you survive every day.

I was actually looking forward to some humorous responses from the board while I waited.

$28? I don’t think I’ve paid that little for an overnight valet in over a decade

If you’re prepaying for it, nothing.

You've already paid to park at a place where you're paying to sleep. Keep the $21.

Going by the OP, this cheap SOB is not staying at an upscale hotel if he has to ask that question.

Assuming you can’t break it, you have to give the 20…

You should investigate self-park options going forward.

I do not understand the need to give a guy 20 bucks for a 3 minute job. That's literally 400 fricking bucks an hour.

Ask him if he can break the $20. Give him $10 now and whoever brings you the vehicle $10 later.
