It sure would be nice to have some reviews associated with all of the fly by night valet services out there.

When I went to retrieve my keys from the Valet at a friend's wedding recently, I was told that they were unsure of where exactly my keys were.

"O.K." I thought as I stood on the street corner of an unfamiliar city, "this stinks".

So after following the Valet manager around while she searched for my keys over the radio and by rifling threw employees pockets... the manager gets into a fight with an employee right in front of me where the employee ends up quitting on the spot and says "I didn't sign up for this crap, I just wanted to make some money this summer, that's it.". That was the employee that the manager who lost my keys chose to hire. "Great!" I thought now, "hopefully that employee isn't holding my key out of spite!"

After walking around for another couple of minutes and having no luck finding my key, the manager looks in her right palm, and wouldn't you know it... there it was the entire time.

Weddings are tough to plan, and when my buddy was racing around getting everything together in the months prior, he probably just picked the valet with the best look and lowest price. It sure would have been helpful for him to have a reliable review service for that sort of thing.

At least it saved me a few bucks in her lost tip. The entire situation is kindof humorous now when you think about it in hindsight ;)
