I’ve had all of my wheels stolen before. That was an awkward teams meeting, explaining why I was not there in person. The photographs I sent into the chat made it more entertaining though.
I think the weirdest part was how nonchalant that Hertz rep was about the situation. Because this shit happens all the time
It's not like it's their car, why would they get mad?
That is not what I was suggesting. It was more like oh yeah, this happens all the time no worries…
Come to find out Hertz removes the OEM installed lock nuts on each vehicle, which was starting to me. I realize there are ways to around that quickly, but why remove a simple barrier like this?
The other thing I figured out is why all hotels don’t monitor their parking lots… That is what really pissed me off.
I don't know.... But some people take their shitty jobs way too seriously.
Honesty, if you are working for some mega Corp why are you bootlicking? They don't give a shit about you.
I don't understand some people... It's like the dude working at Walmart running after shoplifters... Like dude.... You're risking your life for fucking Walmart....
