When I worked retail I had gotten my 03 e85 in 2011, had traded my 98 avenger for it having my 87 Supra as the track toy at the time. The store managers wife just got him a brand new Camaro. When he saw my z4 his comment to me…”Guess we’re paying you too much”. Not even knowing my z4 cost me half the cost of his Camaro. Later in 2012 when I left for a much better job after 13 years of being there he was panicking asking why I was leaving, where did they go wrong. I simply told him you’ve got to treat your people better and pay better. He was fired a few years later for sexual harassment which the entire store witnessed it even when I was there on several occasions.
