Valetnomics in Sun Valley

I spent a few days in Sun Valley, Idaho (for work, believe it or not!) last month and asked the valets working a National Ballet of Canada event what was the conventional/expected tip. “Ten or twenty,” was the response.

(I expected to see Justin Trudeau in blackface among the corps de ballet, but was disappointed.)

Readers: How much are you giving to valets? ChatGPT: “$2 to $5 when your car is returned; $2–$3 is common for average service; $4–$5 is appropriate for prompt, courteous, or extra-helpful service.”

Note the 1948 Buick Roadmaster in the photo below.
