valet is decent..boring though..and can lose your job if someone says you scratched their car...whether you did or not...:rolleyes:

bellhop would be fun...get to meet lots of people...flirt with girls...get invited back to their rooms for "extra" tips..;)...fuck around in the halls...work with some characters i bet...

I currently work as a valet. It's an okay job. You sometimes get to drive some fairly nice cars, like S4, M3, GT2, etc. But most of the time, you'll probably park daily beaters like civics and stuff.

Yeah, sometimes you do get an attitude from the owners. And a lot of stingey bastards too (no tip!).

valet is okay. It is great in the beginning, but after awhile it gets really boring. A plus is that it is easy money. Some of the other drivers were dicks because they wouldn't drive regular cars, just the nice sporty ones and would just wait for them.

Its off season now, Im surprised they are hiring actually. As far as it sucking, that is mostly because of my department which was outdoor vending. Basically that department sucked since I was surrounded with high school seniors...also with the union stipulations, they could force you to work longer than scheduled (I once worked a 12 hour shift) and the work basically sucked. I had to sell crap on those little carts, and working until 1am on a Sunday and having school the next morning just didnt work for me. I dont want to give disney a bad wrap, just try to get a good department. Smile alot during the interview and just act like you love to help people. Also when you show up and apply if they are interested they will interview you right after, so dress nicely.

Try being a bus boy. You can only work on weekends if you want since thats when most restaurants are busiest. Also all your tips are under the table which is great! End up making like 12-20 a nite including your hourly wage!

How about delivery? You can deliver pizzas. Better than a busboy. The tips are pretty good. Especially the night/weekend shift.
