--Another question for-- TheMaitre D'--
When there is a sign posted in front of a restaurant that valet parking is X amount of dollars, does the valet expect a tip on top of that? If so, how much? Thanks.

The valets we deal with charge $4.50 a car...way to much...they also charge the restaurant $1000 a month for the service. I usually tip no more to a valet than I would at a car wash...$1

To answer your question, yes they do expect a tip. But something which very few people are aware is, the valets rarely if ever get to keep this money...
a fact i was frankly shocked to learn.
