| - Love the concept, but DO NOT valet or park in the valet parking lot (which is pretty much the only place to park). My friend and I went to Desoto on Sunday, October 11th for drinks and to check out the farmers market. I pulled up to the complimentary valet and the gentleman working the valet seemed more interested in what was on his phone than valeting vehicles. Since the valet didn't acknowledge us, I parked my car in the valet parking lot and headed in. We came out an hour later and from the initial appearance nothing had changed. The valet man was still standing at his post, under the umbrella with his face planted in the phone, looking up and nodding every time a new vehicle came into the lot. As I approached my 2015, 3 month old vehicle, which was about 20 feet away from the valet guy, I noticed my driver side door had a 2.5ft scrape and dent from a white or silver vehicle that hit my car as they were obviously trying to back out of their parking space. I initially felt relieved knowing the valet man HAD to have witnessed/ heard the impact since my car was parked almost directly in front of him, but when I asked if he saw who hit me, his response was "Uh, no.", and he went back to reading whatever was so interesting on his phone. The valet employee had no care, concern, or empathy which was extremely odd. My friend and I looked around for cameras in the lot but didn't see any. My $3 sunday funday mimosa trip has turned into a $500 insurance deductible to get my BRAND NEW car fixed, and the charming valet gentleman pretty much gave us his middle finger.
