The valets work for Bags not TV. I believe that most people that live in TV understand tipping is a part of service and will tip. Those that won't will be in the minority....I think that has been the case at the restaurants and bars. Maybe the trial will fail, maybe it will succeed....lets just wait and see.

Boy, did you say a mouthful here! To paraphrase a famous movie line: "Tips? We don't leave no stinkin tips!"

How much should we tip? $2.00?

I don't have any problem with someone attempting to start a service. One of the things I always marveled at was the abundance of free parking available for the squares. Perhaps not right on the square, but certainly within a block.
It should be fun to see how they handle golf cart security and ID. And then the mass exodus when it starts to rain and thunder. Where will the people wait while they wait for their carts? Inside the movie theater? Parking is such a problem now that two days a week we take away all of the closest parking and give it to vendors.

It is business at its best. If they make money they will continue. If they don't they will quit. I am sure there are some who have a hard time walking a good distance and they will use. The question is will there be enough to continue the service.

What is. Next meters in the lots .charge for prime seats @the square ?
Is our life style changing to favor those with unlimited funds for such things .The bubble is losing air ?

I agree....Everywhere I've seen valet parking in busy areas
they had a large mostly empty area reserved for "valet parking" while everyone else drove around looking for a parking spot. The article in the paper mentioned that $5 for golf cart and $10 for cars was such a bargain and the normal fee is usually $20 to $30 to park your car. Maybe just me but I can't even imagine someone paying some kid $30. to just park their car then tip them unless you're Donald Trump.

You never use valet right?

In what way are they out of compliance? And who do you mean by "they"? They are public streets, so it wouldn't be TV, would it?

I guess I'm not lazy or trying to impress people how much I spend or how high class I am. I could care less how those people think of me.

Wouldn't they have gotten a better idea of how well this would work if they ran the test while the rental season was in high gear?

Au contraire, the bubble is not losing air. The bubble is being inflated by a whole lot of hot air.

Then why take shots at those that might? "You can't imagine" seems to me that you have an agenda against anyone that can plus "those people" must be beneath you too.

It's a trial. If people don't use it, it won't work. I'll find my own spot. If TV wanted to make parking easier they'd put an archway to the lot behind the Sales Center in LSL. Lot is rarely used. Archway would be similar to the one by Starbucks. We lost a bunch of spots in Starbucks lot when all the District Offices moved upstairs over Johnny Rockets.
