A video of car dealership employees in Westport getting into a heated argument with a local pizza delivery man over $7 has led to Internet anger and a personal apology.
The video, posted on Liveleak, begins with a delivery man returning $7 in cash to the dealership that he had thought was a tip. By the end of the video, one dealership worker threatens to “put my foot in your ass” and another says he will call the delivery man’s manager and get him fired.

Their www. site is teats up.
The used car dealership posted this, lol? What a bunch of marketing geniuses they are.
I suspect that’s the usual reaction to anyone questioning their money grab, whether it’s a customer of theirs with a problem or a supplier. They thought it was funny.
Those are not the sort I’d intentionally associate myself with for a fairly expensive sales transaction. They make used car salesmen look bad, and that takes some doing.
This Yelp review cracked me up!!
” I went into this place thinking high hopes that they’d be able to break a 10 dollar bill. I read recently that they have at least two fives in the place. To my dismay, I found out that they only had a 5 dollar bill and two singles. I noticed a pizza on the desk and asked if I could just take a slice or two and the $7 dollars and they all laughed. So I asked if I could just buy a car and they gave me a covered wagon. I set out on the Oregon Trail.
A few days later, Eric died of dysentery.
I hope these guys are happy. We have all died of dysentery.”
Free Balloons? Don’t forget the free boot up your backside, too!
Is that the actual used car dealership in question? Their selection of vehicles tells me something about the demographic they serve. Probably all salvage title. Old Audi, old Jag (small one too), old Infiniti, old SAAB. Full size Chrysler 300, Dodge full-size sedan and wagon. Maxima.
They’re making a mint off of selling a certain sort of car that will have rented rims on it the same day it leaves the lot. Bet they have those engine shutoff devices when a payment is missed.
They’re supposed to tip the driver, that’s like going to a restaurant and not leaving a tip. What arrogance, it shows you what type of business men they are at that dealership. I’ll bet you they’re all democrats!
This place has no business for a long time.
I watched this video and they have proved what used car salesman is all about.
I don’t pity the fool.
My part time job as a retiree is lunch time pizza delivery. Half of my customers don't tip at all. I keep a log, and the average last year was 5% on tips. The night guys doing residential do much better. A couple of my regular large corporate customers have orders from $100 - $300 at a time. They have accounts so just sign for it. Zero tips ever. I still try to maintain a professional attitude, and provide good service even though I know I'll get stiffed.
Just goes to show free ain’t all it’s cracked up to be! B^)
As for a customer such as the used car creeps that caused this thread. I would not deliver to them again, ever.
What I don’t get is the video itself. Why would the dealership release their own security video which makes them look like a—holes?
I like this one. A lot:
I asked to speak with the manager and he called over this black guy who said “We don’t like your kind” he blamed me for the unarmed black men shootings that have happened recently. At that point I’ve had enough. I got in my car and while I was leaving they chased me down and threw breadsticks and garlic sauce at my car.
Really. That's only a bit over 15%. Cheap up there too aren't they.
He patiently tried to explain that to them but they just couldn't wrap their tiny little brains around it. Bunch of cheap jackasses.
Those comments on yelp are too funny! I never saw anything like it. That dealership got their lousy 7 bucks back but set their business back by 7 years. If I lived in that area, I would avoid that place like the plague.
