3) if your car is sporty, we will test drive your car.

4) that mysterious dent or missing cd is our doing.

5) girls love it when you open the door for them. it's a good segue to get name, number, and ass.

6) if you're a regular customer and are notorious for being a no-tipper, we will steal stuff from you.

7) if a new guy doesn't know how to drive a stick shift, we will use your car for practice.

unless it's the only option, don't have your car valeted.

Where the hell was this? I've never had a problem with a valet in my life. Then again, I don't drive a Bentley, but...

i worked in a fast-paced, tourist attraction place. we're not like the valet at the local restaurant or hotel.

I call bullshit on a lot of that, if you stole a cd or dented my car a spotty little fucking 18 year old valet driver will be destroyed.

99% of antique ironwork that rich people pay a buttload of money to have brought over from Europe isn't even handmade. It's cast iron that was poured into a mold and made to look like it was made by hand. They just can't tell the difference. It was shit then, and it's shit now. Now it's just old shit. Modern blacksmiths do much higher quality work. I know everyone was wondering about that.

I worked valet when I was much much younger and I must say that stealing things or denting cars was really never an issue... if either happened and someone complained, I am sure kids were getting fired with the quickness.

I did however, drink from time to time on the job at night. One of my boys really seriously drank, that was damn sketchy and irresponsible.

Now as for a friend I had that did car detailing... if he found a glass pipe or a bag of weed (or anything) for that matter, it was gone afterwards.

this reminds me when my co-worker took our thirty minute break and started drinking at the local bar. we still had three hours left on our shift, and pretty much valeted drunk.

In some walmarts there is a subway within the store. My friend would just go into walmart and take whatever we wanted. He would stash it behind the counter and take it out after work.
Subway- Friend would spit in the food, not ring up the food & steal the money, put the utensils in dirty places etc.
Lifeguards sometimes sleep.
Don't swim in public pools. EVER.
If you are a dick then the lifeguards will make your stay at the pool miserable.
Don't EVER hire teenagers because 9 out of 10 will steal when they get the chance.
City workers sleep in break rooms and do about one hour of real work the whole day. Rest of the day is spent driving around & sleeping as said.
Teachers have biases no matter what they say.
The teachers (in high school) that hound you for drinking outside of school are often found at high school graduation parties drinking with the seniors.

If it takes you 2 or 3 times to pass the National Registry,written or practical, you either have some sort of learning disability, were suffering from some really bad hangovers, or are a complete retard who shouldn't be given access to a bottle of aspirin let alone narcs and paralytics.
