Valet... Screw that. That's why I don't go to Subi's and BT's.
We don't always agree incog, but I'm with you 100% on this one! SCREW the valet parking. If there's a guy watching the parking lot, and he collects for parking, I don't mind that. I don't mind voluntary valet parking, even if they have part of the lot "valet parking only". But I don't want to give my keys and vehicle to someone I have no idea who he is.

I assume they got raided, but just curious if anyone new. It used to be a very fun club when I would drop in after work. Any idea where the dancers are now?
On their instagram they say they are closed for remodeling they closed at the end of December.

Valet
Valet is code for: Allow me to pay you to go through all of the stuff in my vehicle and in addition, hope that you're skilled and smart enough to park it with enough space in between the next vehicle you park, that you don't scratch it.
Screw that. That's why I don't go to Subi's and BT's.

Deepcover,
Thanks for the info. That doesn't surprise me one bit. I was only there during day shift, but you could always get lots of mileage. Can't even imagine what went on at night.

My whole point is why even put yourself in that position to begin with? To avoid paying a $7 valet fee? As previously stated, my advice would be to pay the puny valet fee when visiting a club, or choose a club without valet. Playing games with valet / trying to avoid / ect / seems like it can just lead to more trouble than saving $7 was worth.
I don't mind paying the valet fee, unless they insist on driving my vehicle. If I was to park down the street to avoid having to let them drive my vehicle, then I don't think I should have to pay a valet fee, since they did nothing for me.

Sure it's easier to do nothing. But assholes like that need to be stopped.

Assuming it was the valet dude (and you're speculating), so much easier to pay the $7 valet fee than have to call the police and file policy report, call your insurance company and file a claim (going to be out the deductible regardless), ect, ect, ect.

Yep. I'm in full agreement of taking care of your own ride. Honestly, I don't even use their lot if I don't have to, especially for clubs in and near Detroit, as there is usually plenty of street parking. The neighborhood would have to be exceptionally sketchy for me to choose the valet (and be a night visit).
And while I do agree about point 1, that clubs want you inside to spend, I don't think point 2 is accurate, as I don't think the club owners would know if the valet is "driving" a customer away. But I don't know how valets, strip club or otherwise, work. Is it a contracted thing where the valet revenue is separate from the club, or is it all together?
I am not sure how it is in Detroit, but in many cases the Valet is a separate entity from the strip club. It depends on the owners and the city. Regardless the owners can tell if the valet is keeping customers away. The easiest way is to monitor the security cameras in the parking lot.

I went to the dollar store and just walk toward the parking lot and was stop for parking there by the valet he want the price to park I told him I did not park in there lot so I would not pay any way he went to management they told me to pay him but they bought be two beers.
