Reply to comment by J_Robert_Oofenheimer in Thieves steal valet stand, car keys from outside downtown DC restaurant by AcceptableGovernment

I valeted in high school. Events lasted hours so the kids would drink while waiting, and smoke, and learn to drive stick on the cars they parked. This was in the 90s, but yea, try and not get your car valeted.

That's crazy. We never did anything at all like that.

The bosses on the job would literally get the people that didn't know stick to drive the sticks, and stop after so long if it was a shitty learner and switch cars so they could either keep going or try someone else. They needed stick drivers, and perhaps they didn't want to be the only ones driving stick because sometimes it was a LOOOooooooong run to get their car in a neighborhood during a wedding. Man, so many good stories but I have a meeting, perhaps I will be back.
