This is a questionable move (in my opinion, and it is simply that). The owner is the one you need to go after, not the day-to-day workers. They're going to suffer an awful lot regardless. Owner's info is public. Leave the car washers, non-joyriding mechanics and sales grunts be. Shouldn't we be equally upset with the nitwit who decided to install a telephone pole in the car?

Yes. But... He hasn't got the money, though he is the penultimate cause. I still agree that it is on the dealership. They gave that dumbass a key. They gave him the opportunity.

In any case, I know that hurting sales is the only way to hurt the owner's wallet, and that makes the whole place tank, but making more busywork for the grunts doesn't do much to the man on the throne. If he doesn't care about a customer, a PR shitstorm and being torn a new one online, he's hardly the kind to care if the hourly and commissioned workers are being jerked around.

Just spread the word and keep people from walking in the door. That's where dinner is served. Enough empty plates and he'll get the point.

Again, all my opinion. As it is, anyone researching that dealership EVER online will likely be directed to spend their money elsewhere. In a world where car buyers usually do research before they ever step on the lot, this situation is going to hurt. And the pain will not be brief.

I researched my dealership. I'll be a lot of guys here did. It's late. I'm rambling.
