Don't do like the Postoffice ,,,,,,cut delivery days to save more money , better close even more days, to save even more money .
But you have to know your business way more than us in here .

Of course I wouldn't. But there are positions that are there for convenience and to just make an owners job easier. I'll do as much of that as I can rather than hire. When it get's overwhelming I'll have my kids help out. THEN I'll hire only when I have to. OR hire someone I know already.
The post office operates in the red.

What type of Risk Management might you be talking about? If I bring you item x worth 100.00 and you ruin it you are liable in court for 200.00?
What the heck kind of business do you run? (other than the church)
What I posted was a sarcastic joke of course but 'Risk Management' does NOT stop something like this from happening. What you are REALLY talking about is to put it in the budget for a rainy day after you do what you can to prevent it from an SOP standpoint.
Doing the right thing is easy for a business most of the time. Some choose NOT to. You'd have that choice taken away from them. And that's your philosophy, I can not say it's the wrong one cause it's yours. Mine is MUCH different.
This dealership is on the legal hook to replace this guys car for it's value. I'm with you on that. (if they actually did give the guy a key to go get his phone)
But anything above that should be the dealers choice. PERIOD. We should never be FORCED to do 'the right' thing. I just marvel at how everyone thinks that they should be able to dictate what's right according to them.
But I'm curious what type of Risk Management you think would keep these wolves from asking way more than the value? If you think you can prevent these things from happening all together then you've never owned a real business. Not for any amount of time anyway.
It's interesting to watch how people act with other peoples money. If it doesn't affect you then you don't care. And that's fine, that's your choice. But to punish someone for something they did not intend is typical of todays mindset.
I have no doubt that you'd still be on a jury and make this guy buy a new car even if it were a fire or unavoidable incident so it's really semantics.
