Yeah I'm confused on this concept too. So someone watches me park and I pay them?

I usually pay around $5, unless they have to get my car which is parked far away then it's $10. Although, I actively avoid valet parking and haven't had to do it in about 2 years. Hoping to keep that streak alive.
Many places have mandatory valet parking. In some cases, I would prefer not to have anyone else drive my car, and would want to self-park, usually in the lot which is restricted access.

In other cases, you don't want to wait for your car to be retrieved by the valets upon exit, and, additionally, may not want them driving it.

So to get them to let you break the rules a little bit, a nice tip is appropriate. Just wasn't sure how much is customary when asking for this.
