but seriously let's cut the bullshit.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened to your car. You're obsessed with getting good value from places you do business. You're an expert at calling various managers and turning petty complaints into incredible savings, respect The valet changes the radio station while parking the car. Druff calls the manager alleging there may of been a party in his car complete with sex, drugs, and hip hop. Bit of an angle shoot? It'll be interesting to see what the manager says the security cameras recorded.
Why should the valet be touching my radio?
Why were the settings on my navigation system tampered with?
Why was my seat leaned way back -- to where it could never be comfortable for anyone to drive that way?
Do you think that valets who do this should keep their job?
Their job is to park the car and not tamper with anything else unrelated to actually parking it.
The radio was OFF when I left the car with them. At some point, the guy turned it on, changed the station, leaned my seat way back, and also found the time to screw with my navigation system.
All of this is UNACCEPTABLE.
When you give your car to someone for any service, THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SCREW AROUND WITH IT.
This is 1000% against the rules at all valet parking companies, and is cause for immediate termination.
If this were simply about the odometer reading 0.4 when I think it should read 0.1 or 0.2, I agree that reporting it would be petty.
However, here I have 100% clear evidence that someone was screwing around with my car when I was gone, and that's absolutely something that should not be happening when you're entrusting your vehicle to a valet service.
Furthermore, the nav system makes me also wonder if they were trying to use it to figure out my home address so they could target a home that is empty. Who knows? Definitely this whole thing deserves reporting.
BTW, this is not about the money. Were it simply about getting a refund, I could have demanded the assistant manager refund my credit card on the spot, and drop the whole thing.
Instead, I left with no refund (and didn't ask for one), and prefer that the general manager actually investigates this. Maybe he will find something, maybe he won't, maybe he will find something and cover it up. But I at least want to deal with the top manager about this, so hopefully I receive a refund and whoever decided to have a little party in my car will get fired.
Assholes who use their position at work to violate people's privacy and personal property deserve to get canned.
