But valet parking really is a practical and affordable solution for anyone who:

- cannot walk far;

- has to get out and push the spouse in a wheelchair and cannot just dump him/her or some grandchildren at the curb while they go and park out in the back lots, and then hoof it back to the spouse;

- wisely thinks about personal safety, and is maybe a single woman who does not feel safe walking to her car in the dark, thru the huge parking lots behind the stores/restaurants;

- does not want to get soaking wet from walking in the rain from far away parking, 15 minutes after they got showered and dressed up and fixed their hair for a night out, and they don't want to sit like a wet dog in a theater or restaurant;

- many other practical reasons.

Great post!!
