Any Valets Out There?

ponner1us

I have an interview at a casino next week, I'm trying to get a part-time(weekend nights) valet gig. Any "tips" (pun intended) for impressing the interviewer?
Also, what is the average amount of tips received for an evening of work?

rival.

I do have a clean driving record. How much should I expect to make? Ballpark figure.

I'm no valet, nor have I ever been...but I'll take a stab at your question. I think it depends completely on the customer and how they tip. I'm willing to bet that there are as many cheap skates that walk into a casino as there are loaded folks.

Best of luck to you in your interview. A clean driving record, a good appreciation and knowledge of customer service...and maybe the ability to work fast and under pressure and I think you'll be the perfect candidate.

I'd have to think you might make a bit more where I live than in PA. We routinely hear of bellhops and valets making six figures.

I had a buddy who used to valet at Caesars in the early 90s. If you asked him "got change for a ten?", he'd say "that is change."
