Valet Ole

This is a review of the Toy Chest parking lot and the very cool gesture by their parking attendant. BTW - please don’t fire that guy. He’s cool people. So I drive up and park. It’s a Sunday night and I’m on my way out toward the airport to check out Landing Strip. I park near the back of the lot because I don’t like getting hassled by the valets before I can get out of the car. As I get out and start walking toward the club, the parking attendant waves at me and starts talking. From very far away. So as he’s walking toward me, I ask him if I can just pay him and park without giving up the keys.

As you’ll see in some of my other reviews, some of the clubs (here’s looking at you, Trumpps and Penthouse) were pretty obsessive about only letting people in who had valeted their vehicles. But I digress. I didn’t catch what the guy had said to me, but he didn’t say anything else until he was close enough to speak in a regular voice. He asks me if I’m going into the club. Nothing about parking, just asked me about the club. That is one question that is not on the frequently asked list for valet, so I paused and asked him if there was a reason I shouldn’t.

Before he could answer, I asked him if there were any girls working. He responded yes. One. I asked him what he thought about the one dancer the club had working. It wasn’t negative, but he basically told me it was $20 to get in the door and I might not thrilled with making that choice. Instead, I thanked him for info, gave him a tip (not $20, but more than a buck or two) and went back to the car. Thanks, dude. Don’t get fired. I would try this club again, if only because the guy they have working the parking lot is a good dude.
