Value of having a job

Dropped the G8 off at the dealer to have the trunk mechanism replaced. I go to pick it up, and one of the service managers is looking for my keys. I see the car in the parking lot and they mention they may be in it so I tell them I will go look. As I walk halfway there, I hear what I thought was my car firing up and then rev. I see someone is in the car and backs it up figuring he was told to pull it upfront for me. Well he makes a left to head towards the back of the building and proceeds to floor it and rips it behind the building.

I look back to see if the service desk saw this and sure enough the manager was right there and saw the whole thing. I yell to him "WTF was that??!?" and he says he doesn't know but is clearly not happy. The manager storms into the service area to look to where the guy went. All the techs have the "oh s&%t" look and as I wait for a few minutes, the car pulls up with the service manager in it. He gets out and tells me that person no longer works at this dealership. He is extremely apologetic and I go on my way.

Now while I don't think the guy should have lost his job maybe it was his last strike and that was it. In this economy, you would think people would value their jobs. Seems like some really don't care. The manager handled my frustration well but my lack of trust continues to be tested ever where I go. I won't mention the name of the dealership as I don't think the dumb actions of one idiot should tarnish the entire organization.

I prob will get a call tomorrow when my service guy gets back.
