Here's the story.
Last night I was meeting a visiting friend for dinner at a hotel restaurant downtown. I paid $8 for valet parking, ate the dinner and was going to leave because I had other plans with someone I'm dating.
When I got back to the valet station they told me that one of the valet attendants dropped my keys in another car which belonged to a guest of the hotel, but they should be back soon. I sort of freaked out on the inside but I remained calm and said hey, why don't I take a cab to where I'm going and come by and get it in the morning? The manager paid for my cab fare and when I got back they paid me $20 for a $15 fare. They gave me about $37 total for cabs.
I went to go pick up the car today and they had it. I even tipped the guy who brought it back to me $5. But I'm thinking that they should have done more for me. I hate to be one of those people that bitches, and I know that people make mistakes, but the effin' valet people are not supposed to lose your keys in another person's car! Thank goodness they found them.
I'm thinking I could have gotten a free hotel stay or at least a meal out of this. But I wanted to just be cool about it and be nice and understanding. It really didn't cause me a ton of grief, I just thought it was insanely unprofessional, especially for a four-star hotel.
Opinions?
