would imagine and i don't have evidence of this but i would imagine there are restaurants where a valet specifically would probably be told not to say anything to that person because that you know clients that spend a lot of money guess that come back you know repeated times to eat at that restaurant they don't want to be told what to do i mean if they can't do that i think that maybe they should have a shuttle service that the rest will take you home and bring you back to your car the next day you know i mean according to the articles in the local news here some of the companies say if they already have similar policies that you know they try to tell their employees to keep that in mind this will make it easier for them to enforce them but it's a it's a tricky it's a really tricky and i think i agree let's move on to the last one i think i have time for tonight which is. cohen who was going to go to the academy awards but you know what he might do something like take a look here comes the ship baron cohen the outlandish jack the risk. i think you show up on the right carpet as the char

the valet services will not be able to drive through the porte- cochere that is there now. the that is not considered in the traffic impact analysis. in the long term, the access to hunt lane is also not guaranteed, so it is possible the long term situation will also be pushing valet operations, deliveries, and garbage out on to these already congested streets. the vacation of hunt line further highlights the inadequacy of the traffic analysis. the findings claim that hunt lane is not necessary and not in use, but the eir response to comments made clear if it is -- that it is, as well as the late improvement measure to have the moma voluntarily of whom -- provide some access to the w in the future. the access to the net,-- to natoma pass is not considered at all, and does not been considered the subject of action, as it is required to be. the third substantive area is the construction impact analysis. they are dismissed in the eir summarily, simply by the statement that these types of impact, because of their temporary nature, are generally considered less significant. whil

help us prevent drunk driving boston city councilor savile drafted an ordinance that would require valet parking companies to keep the car keys from patrons who appear too drunk to drive. when you think about idea this is a tough one because a lot of these valet parking people are at restaurants especially nicer restaurants where the goal is to get people you know give them as much delicious food and give them and get them as liquored up as possible and that's really tough i think for me holding the valet responsible is a bad idea but encouraging them or perhaps widening provisions so that the car could stay there overnight. because that's that's really really tough i think the responsibilities were really runs into some problems because you don't want to have to say this is valid just work and they're making like nine bucks an hour plus tax and force to hold the keys from some rich guy coming out of a really exclusive restaurant and that he's legally liable for any drunk driving accidents that may occur if he does give him the keys and one that's where he gets the i.v. because i could s

the eligible that access to the garagwe would be the valet people. the other option would be to add a speed bump so people can drive fast. i don't know if reconfiguring the building is what we have to do. we can be really smart and look at how to achieve the same goals without having to change the building. the other thing is adding a speed bump into may become of the project sponsor can talk about whether those two kinds of medication -- mitigation could be at work here. >> would be certainly too happy with the owners and the residence and the staff to see if speed bumps would be an acceptable solution. the cars would have to go a block further down. this would create a little bit more traffic than just having people come in directly. from our experience if someone is a tenant in the building, and they have enough to teach in the proper ways. >> if i were a tenant and at least the space, couldn't i just say to my client that they can come and use it? >> the way it works is that you have a plastic card keep that you would need to use to get into the

regarding at the valet component, valet operators obviously service hotels and restaurants and i saw the immediate closure of denial of a business to get a coa to the bond. prior to the bond coverage being expired or terminate at least the business operator services, restaurant xyz has an operator, and they are not being compliant. so the operator of the restaurant next day doesn't have valet sun affected. and is affected. is there any way to implement prior notification to the operator that their subcontractor is not going to be issued a coa through the bond issue? >> you are talking about how it currently is? >> yes. >> i would like to talk to you about situations where you feel there has been one-day notice for closure. i know that our parking enforcement folks do work hard and work overtime with operators in order to help them understand the obligations under the law. and i have not -- i'm not aware of any situation that you have one day's notice, but certainly happy to hear feedback if that has been the case or perceived to be the case. what we do have right now is that after an

an owner of eight valet parking lot was caught joyriding. there was an undercover investigation. cameras showed the ballot on a driving the $60,000 corvette the entire weekend and took it to applebees. the man denied any wrongdoing even though it was caught on tape and that company has since the shutdown. look at the dog a frolicking all over that corvette. >> i don't think he will do that anymore. >> it they had evidence but he still denied it. >> that takes a lot of nerve. >> check out that odometer. >> did he fill up the tank? >probably not. >> in southern maryland, wait till you see the rainfall totals down in southern maryland and more rain is expected later today. the storms could be severe later with possible hail and gusty winds. we don't have the biggest threat of severe weather but there is a chance. let's take a look at what is happening outside with a time lapse. there's a beautiful time lapse. you can see a little bit of sun right there around sunrise and a little bit of rain and the low gray clouds. there were some sunny breaks northwest of town. the atmosphere is g

because the number of trucks and valet parking vehicles associated with the hotel is so small compared to background volume, the eir concluded the impact was not significant. after the eir was published, the museum and hotel staff continued to meet. they have agreed on a construction scheme. by december 22 letter provides a detailed description of that to reconstruction. this plan was presented to staff on december 21, and mta staff think the plan is feasible and can be implemented. the plan is also described in the eir in pages 57 through 59. according to the appeal, the temporary relocation of the loading and parking routes are uncertain and inadequately analyzed. i would note the eir also uncovered other elements of the construction, including noise, air quality, and other traffic. views -- the next plan is that the eir underestimates affects on views from guest rooms in the hotel. they claim the impact from the 200-foot tall building will significantly impact the 320- foot tall hotel, and therefore must be mitigated by a redesign of the expansion project. they said the is that the

my automatic reaction was, this is the valet. he quickly said, what makes you think i'm the valet? quickly said, i am so sorry, my racist thoughts made me feel like you were the valet. that's me not on my best day. >> i think it's interesting you said, my racist thoughts. no one wants to be cast as a racist or having racist thoughts. >> right. but it was a racist thought. because it was steeped in a bias that is an african-american man, he's standing here with a black jacket on, i need to have my car valeted, oh, it must be him. that was on a not so good day. this week in chicago i had a better day when i'm walking through nordstrom, i need shoes, my first thought was, a very handsome african-american man dressed approaches me, my thought was, can you get me a size 13? but it didn't come out of my mouth. we don't get in trouble for what happens in our head, we get in trouble for what comes out of our head and the behaviors that accompany those stereotypes. >> do you think george zimmer n zimmerman, who is hispanic which is interesting, do you think he is aware he was possibly, we'l

because, like, they'll park the cars -- they park it in valet where they valet park. >> and stack 'em up? >> you know, they'll pull in valet parking, and then the valet will come out and get into it, and whatever -- well, they leave the keys in a lot of times, so the valet can drag it off into a parking spot and walk into a casino or whatever. >> and you had someone walk up and take off. >> i didn't have anybody do anything, really. >> right. >> but, like -- they come to me with things and stuff. >> alicia becomes one of the very best customers. both as somebody, you know, bringing in stolen vehicles, and bringing in other customers. i think she came in a total of eight or nine times during the course of the investigation. so they end up with a lot of hidden camera videotape of alicia. >> all right. >> the first time alicia comes into the storefront, you know, you would say that she was, you know, a fairly attractive woman. but as she returns -- >> another update or what? >> ooh. rough few days. >> she seems to age. and one can assume that, you know, life is rough for her. out there o

but it's actually a car parking by a hotel valet in st.ouis posted on youtube. >> the valet's not going to make any money unless he gets that dollar tip. so there's a focus on speed. of course, when it comes out, it's driven really slowly and carefully. >> reporter: the solution? tip the valet before you surrender your car or expect the abuse to begin. when it comes to hotel happiness, tipping is worth it. come to the front desk with your friend president jackson and an upgrade could be yours. flash a 'tude instead, watch your back. is it true that there is a culture of revenge that exists on behalf of the staff? >> oh, without a doubt. there's a thousand ways that i can get back at you for something you don't even know you did. >> reporter: for example, in new york city, where the area code is 212, you may be put in room 1212, which is exactly what a guest forgetting to dial 9 for an outside line would dial. >> if i put you in room 1212, it's a beautiful room by all accounts. however, there's a bunch of idiots all through the hotel that d

you say it might have been stolen at a valet car park. >> no.om a person that worked valet? >> did you have a title for the car? >> um, you know what? i'm not sure. >> if you don't have a title then you can't sell the car. you are not allowed to just take stuff and go to a place and sell it. that's against the law, right? >> yeah, i guess so. i just wanted -- you don't understand. i wanted this guy out of my house. he was a weirdo. >> you are facing felony charges here. >> well, i don't -- i mean -- i hope there is something i can do about it. if i could get them another car i would. i would do anything. i have an 8-year-old that has no dad that can't be where i'm at. >> where is your 8-year-old now? >> he's at school. >> at school? >> yeah. >> how would you describe the situation you're in now? >> awful. absolutely awful. >> where do you go from here? >> i don't know. i imagine i have to go to jail and i don't want to and i would do anything not to because i love my kid and i didn't know i was doing anything wrong. i didn't make a dollar. i jus

the proposed development also offers the garage holding 400 spaces with valet service. currently, there are over 10 of street parking facilities with 10,000 self-part, + attendance spaces. do we need another garage, especially now, when we are trying to encourage people to use public transportation, and currently, the area has excellent transit service. it is not clear how the valet parking will work. will the cars be queuing on the street? where is the drop-off? where is the pickup? all of this is very unclear and will adversely affect the streets with all the new traffic. who will control the street? if the commission advocates to the developer, surely this means he will do what is best for his building. thank you. >> hello. i would like to thank you for your time. i am and practicing architectural designer for 15 years and have some practical and it concerns. my concerns are from a neighbor and design standpoint. taking a look at the plans that were given to us, some of the access that i have concerns with are the good parking/planning. i'll be talking about the layo
