VIP Valet Parking

I've just been to Landmark. I was driving along the car park looking for a shady space when I spotted and empty row ahead. When I got there I found a whole parking aisle was roped off with signs saying "VIP Valet Parking". Huh? The VIPs must have better things to do, the spaces were all empty and the attendant was looking very bored. Get over yourselves, Landmark, this is a shopping mall not a 5 star hotel.

In California the malls have valet parking. It's actually really nice when it is really hot and you have been driving around the parking lot for 30 mins trying to find a spot.

Heh. Now, normally we would laugh ourselves silly over such an accusation, but unfortunately in Doha I can clearly see some rich folk deciding they wanted to park in the handicapped spot. Meanwhile a handicapped person is right behind the rich folk, and was waiting to pull into their designated spot...

It's to keep them out of the handicap spots. :)

So what is wrong in hiring a personal shopper? ( people actully takes a deploma degree on that). Leading department stores like Selfridge's & Harvey Nichols in London offers that.

Wonder if there are people who shop for u too! :P

But really why would anyone want valet parking at a MALL? People have become way too lazy!

Ha ha ha, do those people actually shop for themselves? What I see is a bunch of folk running about who are probably the hired help purchasing for their employer.

Yeah that’s for when Doha’s celebrities need to go shopping in the … hemm … exquisitely fine and chic shops that are there at the Landmark! Wonder when they will build a helicopter pad for those VIPs who want to come in from outside for a shopping spree day in Qatar!
