So they can dress better, maybe? SMH ...
Almost all people with this attitude (and others) have probably never worked in a service industry -- which, I might add, is where many new jobs are coming from in this country. It can be lucrative -- quite lucrative -- and there are plenty of people out there who enjoy the work and don't
want to do anything else. I'm not saying that most valet staff fall into that category, but those who I've known do it because it's a good gig to have compared to a lot of others at its level.
The tipping model is flawed, to be sure. But there are those who
far prefer that over a set wage in certain types of jobs -- valet being one of them. What it is is incentive to learn how to be of good service to others, which is a valuable skill in pretty much any profession.
