I remember when I worked for Ron Tonkin and my sales manager told me to offer a black customer less for his trade in "because black people don't take good care of their cars" I quit after that. Won't ever step foot on one of his lots.

Thats the Manager, don't blame the dealership for one of its workers stupidity.

Thats like blaming a hospital, because you got sick in the waiting room...

Address the problem quickly and publicly...

get him reprimanded.

Why would you quit after that? You must quit a lot... probably after every time your boss doesnt smile at you. A lot of people are racist and you just have to deal with it. From my expierence black people are lot more racist than white people. White people just dont make a huge deal out of every little thing because we just dont care.

No In fact I have been in my current job for 18 years. I quit that job in 1985. I was a kid and never had been exposed to someting like that. There were a lot of other things I had seen there and I just didn't feel like selling my soul to make some money.

I work at Doug's Mazda and I am about to quit too. Of course half of our staff has been ready to quit for the last 6 months so who knows.
