If you're affluent enough (lol) to be using valet services, you might've wondered at some point how those young 20-something drivers in cheap, ill-fitting suits are treating your Maserati? Or, if you're like me, you might've wondered what the equivalent of spitting in burgers would be for those parking cars of the rich and wannabe famous.
Turns out, your worst nightmare (or greatest hope, depending on where you fall in the class war) may be true after all. To get an idea of what valet drivers do for fun, we spoke to Taylor, a former valet who's worked at high-end restaurants, art galas, and the occasional private household party.
The shenanigans range from irresponsible to illegal. Park douchey at your own risk.
VICE: So how long did you work as a valet?
Taylor: I've been doing it for a little over a year. Mainly high-end restaurants, and occasionally the odd private event or hotel. I used to work events like the AGO damage, or damage you can see. Most of the damage could be from cold starting cars, changing gears aggressively, riding the clutch, that sort of thing.
Would you ever let a valet park your own car?
No. I drive a manual, too, so no way.
