flori0009 | As the office manager/owner of a business, was this OK? |
Mom and I have a small car dealership in Virginia. I am the office manager, but am usually the only one doing the work here. Recently, I had a line of customers to buy cars, and needing other work done. I was going as fast as I could trying to satisfy all my customers. There was a lady who came in with her daughter who looked to be about 18 years old. The daughter started complaining about how long I was taking, and huffing and sighing. Then, she said "AUGH! it smells like crap in here!" (The smell was food that had been left out by a co-worker the previous day, that I had not gotten the chance to throw away as I had just arrived at work.) I then told her that if she didn't like how it smelled, she could leave the dealership. Her mom starting going completely psycho and yelling at me and telling me I had made a huge mistake because she was going to buy a car, blah blah. I told her I didn't need her business, that her daughter was being rude, and that I wanted her to leave. She even called the cops on me, and I hadn't so much as raised my voice to this lady! Of course, the cops were understanding, as I hadn't done anything wrong. What would you have done differently in my situation. I reserve my right to not assist customers who I think are being rude. Any comments? Additional Details I have many excellent customers who have bought several cars from us. I love all of my customers, but when someone comes in being rude, I believe any one has the right to kick them out. |

while your business and reputation lives's and dies's on its rep. it can also make you a mark if your saw as To easy to make ever one happy[ word gets out you will Not look out for you own Or you will roll over for fast money games] . you will find that the one that ***** the most, usually have the least money. the ones that say thank you, please, and wait there turn have jobs work and under stand [ and a lot have been Right where you are with hard customer's ].have more, and wil spend it If you can show them its worth it.
i have ran a impulse business for over a decade and try for over a 96% satisfaction rate. i have had Leader from other races check me out do me tell one of there folk/ demographic of etc. they see that i treat ever one as they act. if there being nice i treat them nice, not so nice not so much. But be VERY professional with ever one is the key. btw about 1/2 the time i get checked out i make a sale of the person checking me out. Let it go you will have this happen and worse. but as long as you Professional and nice to 90% its all good. [ and you number will show it [ $$ ] Good luck |

As a small Business owner you have every right to throw people out you do not like or want as a customer, chances are they would have bought a car and returned it wrecked and sued you because they were just those kind of people. I have several businesses and i would never put up with someone down playing my business and some people are just problems and you do not want there business. |

I believe you were well within your rights as the manager of a business. I too have my own company and will not cater to anyone who is being rude. I am not any one's doormat and do not need business that bad to just accept anything. As long as you did not yell back at them or display any disrespect, I am sure your other customers were happy you asked them to leave. I have on many occasions witnessed the unnecessary rudeness of customers and wondered why the manager or owner felt they should kiss behind for that person's business. It is never that serious. |

Well, your small car dealership just got one potential customer smaller. If that customer spreads the word about bad service, you might be a few more customers smaller. Given the present and near future market for vehicles, every customer may be the difference between between solvency and bankruptcy.
While the customer was certainly being rude, you also handled the situation badly, especially in an industry that counts on repeat business. |

You are in a customer oriented business. If you don't want to cater to customers, quit. Word of mouth about bad business can kill your potential market. |
