How Do We Deal With Arrogant Selfish Valets

[christopherkim]

I recently became a valet manager and it's unreal how this happens on a daily basis in this industry. People need to grow up for real. Thanks for the stories, this gives me a better perspective of how to deal with such things and how to approach my team. Please keep sharing your stories! And of course thank you.

He definitely took advantage of the situation by not coming in at all but he has to do what he has to if it is for a career job. As a Valet manager who recently graduated college I understand what he did but he did not go the right way about it. Valet owners need to realize that this is typically not a career job therefore will not care about their job like the owner wants them too. These guys are looking for a full-time career and the owners need to understand and even support them. Owners want employees to care as if they are paid like owners. If they are replaceable great but with the labor shortage I know its hard to keep a full staff.

as someone (24 years old) who is a lead at my valet spot, I’ve had my share of arrogant/selfishness moments I had to eat shit for to gain perspective and selflessness. what your valet did was unforgivable though. all in all I’m grateful for my job especially with where the economy is at right now and I don’t plan to risk my job like this guy did.

btw are you open to receiving stories from other valets in the country and making a video? I have plenty at mine lol

I weed out selfish employees.
As in: if you can't be bothered to take 1 minute to make a phone call, I can't be bothered to sign your paycheck.

That young man has some maturing to do. Throwing teammates under the bus to save yourself is truly selfish.

We had people like that when I worked at the bagel shop; some shifts were better tip wise than others, Saturday’s being better than Sundays because the church crowd were always bad tippers. People were fussy yet didn’t realize they also didn’t have the actual manager there if they got Sunday instead of Saturday as their weekend shift (everyone got at least one, I generally got both because I had nothing better to do and was eventually more ‘senior’. Restaurant industry turnover), yet would be pisspoor on the lazy Wednesday afternoons where like 20 people would come in after 1230 and we closed at 2. Would be the last one to finish their closing task which was always easy on such a lazy day, and then bitched they didn’t get full days on Saturday where you’d leave with $40 in tips in addition to like 8.25 an hour (circa 2013-15) for a 6-3 shift

Lmao talk about arrogance and selfishness .. then basically proceeded to talk
About your arrogance and selfishness. Totally your right to be concerned about your business .. and he wanted to be concerned about what he wanted to do about his career .. while saying he’s only thinking about himself . While you are only thinking about your business. It’s your business and you are entitled to do it how you want, but don’t call someone out for doing what you are doing which is only worrying about yourself. Don’t do well with someone throwing people under the bus, but will use that info later . And yes his bills are his main concern just like your bills are to you. No one else is going to pay his bills for him.
