Valet and Customer

jackslash
Detroit strip clubs
Friday night I went to a new strip club. I gave my car to the 2 young valets, walked inside, and partied until after midnight.

When I come out, one 20-something-year-old valet runs and brings up my BMW. I hand him the cash for the parking fee. I push the button and wait for the convertible top to come down. At this point the valet walks up and says, "Sir, I'm sorry, but you know we work for tips. We don't get anything from the parking fee." Although this may have been BS, I gave him another buck.

But it got me to thinking. Who has it better? The 60-something-year-old customer who drives a BMW and throws money around in strip clubs but who has most of his life behind him? Or the 20-something-year-old valet who has to park cars for tips and watch guys go in and out of the strip club but who has most of his life ahead of him?

I will answer the question with another questions.

Both the 60-year old and the 20-year old are fucking the hot strippers that work inside the club. Which one is doing it for free?

NukeyBoy (ranukam)! And, similar to the valet in the story, he is pumping gas into BMWs and ask for extra tips down in Portland.

The 20 year old has it better 'cause he just suckered you out of a buck. His ol' lady is a stripper in the club who taught him about the hustle.

Jack my friend, I'm not sure I follow your question. In the scenario you present the 60-something BMW owner is more affluent than the 20-something valet. But "better"? By what criterion?

The important criterion in life is happiness (or happyness if you're in a select cloying Will Smith movie). Different people value different things. Perhaps the valet is happier scraping by financially but feel rich with friends (possibly stripper friends with benefits...). Perhaps he is miserable. Perhaps the affluent gentleman (aka you) is happy partying down with 19-year old strippers in exchange for your moo-lah (when I interact with 19-year old strippers I'm pretty happy!). Perhaps said gentleman is feeling foolish, hollow, and ashamed. A sad shell of a man facing an existential crisis that would have caused Camus to throw off this mortal coil with a bullet to the brain. Only the individuals in question know.

One thought -- perhaps the valet is our new bud: candydude! He's probably early 20s and sounds broke. But he also sounds pretty happy. Nothing like candy, porno, and weed to make life worth livin' my friends! Well, it seems he would dig a BJ from his friend...but he's a very positive guy overall. So my vote in that scenario would be: game, set, and match to candydude. After all it largely seems that he is happy with candy and porno. If only that was all I needed for happiness...

Or perhaps said valet was Juice!

Cue Dougsta...

(Or perhaps candydude is our Juicebro *and* the valet was Juice/candyman...that would be frickin' coo-el)

Yeah the 20 yo has his whole life ahead to find his way. And he's working at a SC so he'll learn the game earlier and avoid the same mistskes than the 60yo probably did. So IMO he's got it better.

zippie nailed it. Full marks to him, and there is really nothing to say beyond that.

(Except juice is early 30s AFAIK, so I still say NukeyBoy is the better analogy for the valet.)

I feel your thoughts on this one Zip. Not to sound too Zen but contentment comes from within not without. It's already there, waiting to be discovered.
One more thing. We can't assume that the the 20 year old valet is fucking any dancer. He might learn some game by being in that environment, though.

Does anyone know of an actual case of a valet parker who was steady fuckbuddies with even one stripper?

I universally detest valets. However, there is just no good reason to not tip the valet. Why piss of someone who have access to your car keys the next time you go to that club?

Never piss off the chef.

"One more thing. We can't assume that the the 20 year old valet is fucking any dancer"

No we can't. But I'm willing to bet the odds are pretty good. I don't regularly attend any club with a valet to know, but here's what I fo know. At my regular club, I know for sure a doorman, a DJ, a floorwalker (bouncer), and the parking lot security guard are fucking dancers. Verifiable because in each case they were the dancer's baby daddys.

So I'm sayin' even if the minimum-wage rent-cop security guard is nailing the dancers, the likelihood hood of the valet doing it fairly high also.

what motor said. I know for sure of one bouncer banging a dancer while she was on & of with her thug bf. Bouncer was very relieved when it was clear the bf was the baby daddy.
