Simple story: I go down to Hollywood for business, I stay at the motel 6 on...I forgot the street, but it was a terrible place to stay! The room was not good, the TV was messed up and I had to fix it, and....well ok it sucked.
Anyway, they had "complimentary valet parking." Great...my $50 room had valet...how great can it be. Anyway, I give the guy my keys, and off he goes. I don't tip. Then after I went up in my room, I come back down 5 min later, get the car, go eat w/ my buddies, come back, but this time I give the guy $5.
I felt that if I didn't give him anything, or too little, he'd probably think "rich stingy mofo!"
Then at the car wash. I let the homies wash my ride b/c it was too dirty and I was too lazy to wash it myself. I give the guy 2 bucks. I'd give only 1 buck if I drove something else, but no I give 2.
Well in my case, money is tight, so I'm tight on how I tip. But do people expect you to pay up just b/c you drive a benz?
Now that was just for tipping.
And what about when you drive, b/c you drive a Mercedes people think you gotta be uptight and have your windows rolled up. Shooot...not me
So I guess this thread could be called the Mercedes driver stereotype really
