This whole Valet parking issue is seriously getting out of hand in Lebanon. I went up to Faraya some 10 days ago and was stopped at the entrance of Warde ski slope by a Valet guy. They had a checkpoint and you could not get in the huge parking lot without giving the car.
I told him I am just driving around and don’t want to give him my car and a minute later he agreed to let me in.
I’ve been going there for years and I honestly don’t see the need for valet services. Added to that, the entrance to Warde is also a main road that gets you to the Bekaa. How can they be allowed to block a main road and set up a checkpoint? It wasn’t that long time that we got rid of Syrian checkpoints there and we damn sure don’t miss them!
Moreover, a guy was complaining on the radio the other day that he had to pay 5000LL just to get passed the checkpoint.
All in all, valet guys in Lebanon dress like army men, beat you up if you take their parking spot and are setting up checkpoints lately. Give them guns and you’ll have a Lebanese version of Blackwater.
Wow..that’s just..outrageous. I’m glad you didn’t give them your car!
Me give them my car? Never!
For the love of god…
Never ever park in a valet parking spot
i experienced this too, this issue should be raised to the high level on all medias. At the end, its surely a “politican” behind it.
Haha, being honest and doing the right thing is so rare these days that they give out medals for it? I want one for not robbing the old guy on the bus!
ERRR and this comment should be on the other thread, woops.
(If you move my comment to the correct thread, you can have a medal!)
I just want to mention that the road to Bekaa is closed in winter, they don’t plow the snow there.
But I’m still with you on this
