Yep, valet parking was probably one of my favorite part-time jobs. They put me on a mailing list for valet events and sent out weekly emails; I picked the shifts I wanted to work. I got a good friend a job there, too, and we often worked together. It was a great way to get in shape making decent money to drive nice cars. And there was generally a 1-3 hour lull during the event to relax, shoot the shit, make plans for the night, and meet new friends.
- hugh3 15y agoSounds like a good job! In the game I took the option of being a waiter working for $2.15 an hour plus tips, thinking that based on all the waiters I know I could easily earn some pretty good money. It told me I wound up earning $8 an hour, and this was average. I remain skeptical. For one thing, that's minimum wage, and as I understand it, the employer is obliged to subsidise your wages up to minimum wage if you don't make that in tips. Secondly, assuming a standard 15% tip that means I'm only serving about $40 worth of food and drink per hour, in which case I'm in a really bad restaurant. (OK, maybe we need to share some of the tip total with busboys et cetera, but that's still astoundingly low). Thirdly, there's no way that can be the average, because it's the minimum, and some waiters are earning a whole lot more.
