Dude you are missing the entire point of the thread. I am not talking about giving my car to anyone else to drive. OP asked about parking it himself. In situations where the valet lets me break the rules and do what I want, and doesn't lay a finger on my car, I pay for the ability to do that. The more outside the norm what I want is from what the standard procedure is, the more I pay. OP was asking what others do, that's what I do. What you do has zero bearing on my view of this. If I can't park my car myself and they won't let me do as I want, then it's $5 no more.
Think the whole point of the discussion was not to focus on normal give the guy your keys and watch him drive off in your car. Anyone who wasn't raised in a barn should know that's anything up to $5 depending on the place and the quality of service. For this outside the norm situation OP didn't know what to do and wisely polled the group rather than make an ass of himself.
My point with those examples which are "menial" jobs by western standards is that no matter what you do, do it well. Valet parking included.
