If Self Park is an option and I’m choosing valet of a self Park I’ll tip. If valet is the only option I’m not tipping, especially if they’re charging me for it.

If they have a parking lot for their hotel, then let me park the damn thing myself. If you want to force me to use your valet as the only parking option, i'm not tipping anyone. They should be giving me money for the inconvenience they are causing me.


Same thing with some nicer restaurants. There are a couple next door to each other in a shopping center here, and a massive parking lot. Except 75% of it is coned or roped off for valet parking. At least they have the courtesy to leave the ones closest to the door for self parking, but its like two short rows that can park 15-20 cars in each so unless you get lucky and catch someone leaving as you get there you end up using the valet.

Am I supposed to drop $5 every time I get my car?

The answer is Yes. And since you are there a week you have plenty of time to get a hundred in $5s.

Think of your $80K car as just a big pile of cash. Suddenly $10 bucks a day doesn’t sound like that much.
