Seeing everyone wearing masks, it protects me from catching something that could be very harmful to my health. Everyone was very friendly. So glad there was valet parking (even though it was way too congested and hectic). I could have never walked from the parking lot to the dr office due to breathing difficulty. Valet staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful. Think you need to staff more at this point, it was wall to wall cars in 3 lanes.
